Thanks for the link. I'll give your method a try over the next week and let you know how we go. I was worried at first given I think my boy is a visual learner with some aural sensory issues but the single click maybe the sort of sound that will break through. Anything more complex and he'd probably just screen it out.
thanks Freya! You could use a quick burst of light from a small flashlight like they do for dolphins if you think he'd like that better. I think that the key thing is that our voices convey so much dissapointment, frustration, whatever, but the click is just a 'yes.' And my son never wanted to hear any negative 'helpful suggestions' and research is bearing this out. He only wanted to be told when he got it right.
I think stencils are a great idea because it keeps your child's hands developing. We went to the computer - Microsoft paint - which lowered the frustration level just fine, but did nothing to solve the finger and hand development problem. Opps!
Smiles,
Grinity
