The need for consistancy is very important for Lucas due to his autism. So where does this need go when it comes to putting his stuff where it belongs???
For the first time ever though, Lucas is having company of his own. Another boy in his class is coming over after school today, so I told Lucas that he had to help clean the house since it was HIS company. And it WORKED!!
He put his trains and other stuff away where it belongs:
Dusted the furniture:
And even used the vacumm cleaner, in spite of the noise it makes:
His dog Dixie was very curious about this noisy machine, but Lucas told her, “It’s okay, Dixe” so she wouldn’t be scared.
I told him he did such a nice job, we might do it every week (that will help make it part of his “can’t live without doing it” routine.)
We only worked in two rooms (living room and sun room), but I think Lucas is pleased with how nice they look. I can’t wait to see how he and his friend enjoy their afternoon together!
