Hello, We have a 40 yrs old mainly non-verbal male client, intellectual impairment/dual diagnosis who is Spitting. When going out he will spit a lot in the car and at the carer. Spits on changeover of carers, mostly on his shirt but sometimes at carers and people. It appears at times attention seeking behaviour or anxious/excited about something, his way of communicating.. What would be a way to handle this behaviour..? any thoughts would be appreciated.
I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!
