That’s a great example of an open-ended question to help Jason reflect on what he already knows! I love how you would provide ideas and support but let him choose which strategy he wants to try. And yes, allowing the space and time for the family to think and respond before jumping in with suggestions can be a real challenge, especially when you have lots of good ideas bouncing around in your head. Congrats on your success – based on the question example, it sounds like you’re doing great work with facilitating reflection!

I would offer Jason the choice of using an adaptive spoon with a variety softer foods & incorporate Breanna’s favorites.

One challenge with my families is letting decide what can be done differently to reach their goal. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to think about before I get to offer any suggestions.

I have had the biggest problem solving success coaching through their strategies & reflecting on the success of the plan as a team.
