Taking turns on the computer Computer 2 chairs simple computer programme e.g. a painting programme | Set up the computer with your chosen programme Sit next to the child Show the child how to take turns by: Saying 'My turn' ........'Your turn' etc Support this by using gesture/points Depending on the level of difficulties the child is having, you may also need to do the following: Use a visual timetable with your name in a (drawn) box and then the child's name in a box, then your name in a box and so on i.e. make a list of the turns with names written in boxes For example: As you take a turn, cross off one of the boxes with your name in it As the child takes a turn help him/her to cross off one of his/her names in a box. | It is important to take a turn even if the child finds sharing very difficult. Start by taking a very short turn for yourself and letting the child have a longer turn. As the child begins to understand that his/her turn will come around again you can lengthen the time of your turns. You can use similar strategies for taking turns in other activities. |
