| Pandora, I know what you mean....His school is so concerned about his teeth but they have never arranged for an OT like they had promissed - to help with his fine motor so that he can hold a tooth brush properly. The system is so twisted. |

| Thanks to everyone for your ideas! I have tried some pre-visits with him watching us have our teeth cleaned etc. But he still won't budge. He has a HUGE phobia of cavities and unfortunately that is what needs to be seen to. Social stories have never been a help for him but we keep trying. His little... |

Eventually the following activity in itself will be the reinforcer but for the beginning some positive encouragement or a piece of candy for "good waiting" etc. Will help encourage him!
