We use the following specialized techniques to help you
assist your loved one with developmental disabilities:
• Consider Typical Development - Most children with
developmental disabilities struggle in many areas, so it
should be possible to find a skill your child needs to work
on that children of the same age are also learning or
have already mastered. Some examples might include
dressing, using eating utensils, washing hands, and
putting toys away.
• Look For Signs That The Child Is Ready To Learn -
For example, if your child can take off his clothes
independently, he can learn how to put them on.
• Give Your Child Enough
Time To Try It On their Own -
Pick a specific task you want
your child to learn and then
plan for the extra time it will
take them to practice and
master it.
• Stop Yourself Before You
Rush In To Help - Wait each
time to see if your child can
figure out what to do next, and
prompt her only when she
doesn’t start the next step on her own.
