My son, too - tried cooking or music or doing life skills like laundry or vacuuming? Otherwise taking out - to park walk or something - swings We use to have trampoline which worked out until he got bigger and broke it Sensory activities - can look up just google youtube and search for sensory play or other play activities - toys from amazon

Hi Sarbjitpahal11, (I hope you don’t mind me posting on your post indieabc) ...

does your daughter have a visual planner?

It also sounds like she greatly struggles with transitions like myself,ie such as going for a walk and not wanting to come home...a visual PECS Planner can help if made in the right way for your daughters thinking and needs.

You coud make this kind of schedule for task transitions-

| TASK NOW | TASK ENDING SOON | TASK FINISHED | NEXT TASK|

SoYou woud put the pictorial of her first task ‘TASK NOW’ (let’s call it swimming) and her next task pictorial under ‘NEXT TASK’ (let’s call it go home).

When it’s around the time of going home,and you get to ‘Task ending soon’ ,you coud ask your daughter to move her pictorial to this section-the more control she has over it the more she will be able to connect it to her self and process it.

Whilst in the ‘TASK ENDING SOON’ stage,I recommend using a 10 minute sand timer from a shop like ROMPA,Telling her clearly, when the sand gets to the bottom,we need to go home now but we can come out again another day.

And start over again with the next task.

As she gets older,she may become very reliant on the schedule format, or may be able to build up to having a days worth of activities/tasks on her schedule like mine,I do know other people,much higher on the on the spectrum who can manage a weeks worth of scheduled tasks/activities but there is so much unpredictability in this and anything can change,when you are so fixed and rigid on having to do certain things, it’s best having a day (or less) pictorial schedule,mine is now a day long,but I started out with now and next many years ago.

If you want to make your own PECS download the free windows app, pictoselector,if you need any help with this please let me know.
