A Mini-Schedule

This is something new we are trying, a mini-schedule. It was a recommendation from the behaviorist, so the speech therapist has helped me get started. It is simply just some pictures that show our nightly routine. We go down the list: Play Time, Bath Time, Brush Your Hair, Brush Your Teeth, Take Medicine, Drink Milk, Read A Book, and Go To Sleep. Once we finish an activity she participates by flipping over the picture before moving onto the next task. This is supposed to teach her about doing things, even things we don't like that we must do. She may not like Brushing her Teeth, but she sees that after we brush teeth we get to read a book. The behaviorist said that most kids respond well to seeing what is planned out and going through the routine. She has been very excited by the chart and we will keep you updated on how this works out.
