Learning to Learn: Work Box System

This adorable little guy came to us 4 months ago, a bundle of energy and eager to let us know what he wanted. Little Alex wasn't quite sure he wanted to do what we had in mind though so we began a very simple work task system to  help him understand our expectations. This very visual system help him understand the duration and content of his therapy activities.  Alex has taken to his system beautifully and participates readily in all three of his "work" activities before he hops down to run the show learning functional communication through play with toys and interaction. Now that he's "learned to learn,"  Alex's "work" will gradually become more focused on increasing language development and speech.  Way to go, Alex!
