Helping Spence with his lessons helps build camaraderie and sibling peace.:)
Joseph doesn't even mind sitting in Spencer's swing waiting for Spencer to ask for it.
Last Thursday, Joseph was able to run some lessons with Spence for the tutors. We generalize the skills Spencer's learns with family. Joseph did a great job delivering the right statements and praising Spencer after. The kids earn Spencer points. This is a little token board type paper where we can give them stars of marks for helping out their brother. They can honor his PECS exchanges, help him with a lesson , play with him, or leave the area when we say the magic word; Flight. It is nice to have the kids listen to me and get positive benefits for it. Joe earns quarters for his points. Emmy earns chocolate or some yummy food. Celia earns many different fun things.
Emmy is really good with Spence. He wanted to watch an aquarium CD-ROM on his TV the other day. Emmy sat with him on my chair and play it with him on the computer. He loved the mock fish aquarium. At least the fish are safer this way.:)
