- Instructions about how to teach a child to wait. Barbara Lester, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, shares a plan for teaching children to wait. This can be helpful for any child who has trouble waiting (for instance while a parent is on the phone) but will be especially useful for children with special needs, such as those on the autism spectrum. A visual support is used (a laminated card with a picture of a hand being held up with the word "WAIT" written on it) and the child starts by rehearsing the skill for just a few seconds at a time. The child can be motivated to practice by earning a reward. Additionally, special supplies can be gotten out for diversion during the "wait" time and then put away later so that the novelty value does not wear off. Video modeling can be used to strengthen this skill.

Thank You so much for your videos. They are so helpful. My granddaughter has been diagnoised with ASD and now we understand why we have been having the problems with her. She is 11 and your videos have been helping our family so very much. You are a Blessing to us. Thank You again. Sincerely Chris
Thank you for posting this.
Dear Chris: Thanks so much for your kind comment. I really appreciate the encouragement. My best to you and your family.
Very useful thank uou
My personal opinion is it is ok if: there is some general limitation on gaming, and if when he has to turn it off to begin whatever you are waiting for if he can handle the transition. Best wishes!
I allow my son to play a video game on his phone (he's 8) to help occupy him while waiting. Do you think this is a bad choice considering my son (and often lots of Autistic children) loves video games and usually only wants to play videos most of the time outside of waiting nicely?
I am training to be a primary school teacher and have a class of 30 6 year olds. I have about 3/4 that i really struggle to get to listen and wait. One child in particular will not wait to take a turn. The techniques I use work with the rest of the children but this one just cannot wait. He whines even after his turn that other people have had 2 turns and it isn't fair (they haven't!!.) I explain to him that he needs to wait and that he will get a turn and ask if he understands, he says he does and apologises for interrupting then does the same thing when another child has a turn! I have tried rewarding him with merits for good waiting but nothing is working :( Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
SASS AFRASS you cant undo sloppy self indulgent parenting.
