As a general rule, when working with persons with an FASD, if a
situation is not working, STOP, OBSERVE, and ASK CONCRETE QUESTIONS (not
abstract questions). "Why?" is a very abstract question and will not
bring good results with a person with an FASD. Good, concrete questions
to ask are as follows: "What was hard for you?" "What would help?"
"What were you frustrated about?"
DON'T TRY HARDER, TRY DIFFERENTLY!
"If
a child is told 1,000 times and still doesn't understand, then it is
not the child who is the slow learner." -Walter Barbee
