Providing Lexi with an "All-Done" box may help her transition to the next activity. Many children with autism, learning disorders, or Prader-Willi fixate on a task and have difficulty finishing it or moving on. A cardboard box, simply labeled "All Done," may help her. When she completes her work, she puts it in the box and moves on to the next task. A timer may increase her anxiety, while assigning a peer to help doesn't address the underlying source of her problem, which is that she gets mentally stuck and needs a visual cue to get unstuck.
