It's hard to say, it could be treasures, or like something for share and tell[ not for you to keep] it likely has relevant information or reference to a previous topic/question.
Like if you said " I want you to think about ________; this next week and we can talk about that next time." Then your " gifts" could be a part of a message or symbolic
Is there an important dialogue section or a phrase? Like a slogan or a theme?
Do you have the summoning bell on the front desk? It's like you ring it by slapping down on it, "ding!,"
I would get an AV cart setup for [vhs?] [Audio tape?] And a 20×17 poster board with a pad of paper and something to draw with that's big around
not felt pens they sound scratchy and smell really strong to hypersensitives. That's not a constant
Let your client have the bell. When they ring the bell you pause the tape. Then take notes, or rewind it a bit and see if they ring in at the same time. It could be a message. A ceramic bowl and a stick would be better, softer sound.it may be an appeal for music, try the blues or drums like just drumming. Do they have a cheap tape player? They sell one now at Walmart that's under 20
It's hard to say if it means you are supposed to accept it and keep it[gift] or if client is treating you like a ten year old does his mom at the seashore " here hold this, there's more loot I have to go get"
Have you ever seen lumber crayons? They are really big. There is a holder for the crayon called a khiel (?sic) say " key_el". My point is you can get those from the art supply store and from " the golden violin" ( website for adaptive lifestyles, like sippy cups, walkers, things for disabled folk).
you may wish to ask here about
" adaptive grip, large, ergonomic for writing and art"
Some people don't like crayons,
( baby stuff , strong smell) but the colored pencils are too small around. You can wrap pens and pencils with foam rubber weather stripping tape, to make them bigger around, I like to wrap it with electrical tape on top of the foam. You can get electric tape in pretty colors. There is a sanding block thing you need for colored pencils it has a stack of sandpaper on a lil paddle thing about 5 inches overall length. The art supply place will have it.
There is this thing about the princess and the pea? It's from a fable. The princess is very sensitive. So if you tried the white board and failed, it could just be unaesthetic or threatening in appearance, or associated with something else. Clip board and a pen doesn't work? Try foam core with thick paper glued to it and all the edges wrapped with tape, like a frame.
Some type of writing drawing should appeal, if they will try it it might be the right one,
Thats so confusing! I'm so sorry.
A rejection of opportunity to write/draw may be due to the tools or material. You can buy fancy paper in bright colors at the craft store(origami, tissue, wrapping) and use spray glue on the window, and put the pretty paper up like imitation stained glass, but simpler more like Wright or ______. They may not let you do that at your work.It's fun to play with though, the light thru different colors is inspiring to me.
That's what I would do, give a gift back of art supply, and tools and a board to draw on. If she will use a white board( try a smaller one)? Or will work on the right bench( not a chair) on the right height table.
I would cut up some magazines too, for the pictures, it's fun doing collage and decoupage. Then a shoe box and keep the pictures and the pens/ pencils in the box that you decorate together???
I used to be pretty strange, it was from longterm isolation. My sense of value was different. Back then you could charm me with socks, snacks and new pens and paper, and books. Do you know if they can read yet?
