[blindkid] repeating - Kathy

Though echolalia is not necessarily a blindness trait, it is very common and very hard to break in ONH kids.  What causes you daughter's blindness?

The repetitive conversation is not necessarily a 'blindness trait'. Yes, some blind kids do repeat things, but not usually to that extent. Have you considered having her tested for autism?

For example, if I ask her to go to her chair she will say, "go to my chair, go to my chair"  repeatedly until she makes it to her chair.  Also, everything has to be named a certain way.  For example, if you ask her to go to the door, she won't go until you say go to the front door.  If I say scoop with your spoon, she won't do it until I say metal spoon.  She will repeat what she wants you to say until you say it.  Have any of you ever had this problem, and how do you make it stop?!?
