My co-worker (previously a middle school special needs teacher) gave me the idea of getting a refrigerator box (cut out one of the sides so it would be 3 sides only) that Graham might be able to be taught to retreat to before he ‘goes over the edge’.
Haven’t found one yet, but he did enjoy settling into this smaller box as soon as he spotted it sitting outside yesterday. Lots of smiles, squeals, and laughter 🙂
It reminds me of little children who like the box better than what came in the box — you all know what I mean.
First, he had to make it comfy with his pillow and blanket…
…too much excitement! How about a nap in it instead?
