Please visit the Washington Sensory Disability Services website for further details on why it is important to know your child's preferences.
The website provides short videos explaining how adding meaning to an activity based on the child's likes motivates them to achieve a realistic goal.
Also remember to download the Like/Dislikes form provided on the same page to help you understand your child's preferences.
