Sorry to harp on about this, but I have done some stuff setting up adaptive IT spaces and from what I see everybody struggles with voice to text for a fair while. I understand for some people it straight up won't work, but please don't think that it won't work just because it sucked for a long while. The programs these days learn your voice pretty well, better than even three years ago. I know a guy with cerebral palsy who I can't understand well that uses JAWS passably, but only with his memory-cache-learning-thingy loaded in.

So glad you can get your gaming fix :) I suck at Overwatch and it really bruises my ego to think that a guy playing with a mouth-stick probably pwned me at some stage.

I'm struggling with this too. What we have currently tried is printing out some icons in a line, for morning and afternoon.

We put something to represent this afternoon routine: 1- clean lunch box, put ice brick away

2- put bag away

3 - empty half a sandpit of sand out of her shoes outside

4 - put clothes in the wash

5 - **** Can snack and play outdoors now

6 - home work

7- wash up for dinner

8 - **** Can read or play inside

9 - put her stuff in the dishwasher

10 - **** can have iPad.

She just ticks off the boxes if she wants to play or do iPad. If we catch her with her iPad without those things done, she loses it.

I doubt that this constitutes self-motivation, but routine is kind of motivating in and of itself. We also find she responds far better to praise than punishment, as such, I think we slipped into using the carrot more than the stick, even when that might not be a good idea in hindsight.
