In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This can be taught before the child learns to read or write, such as when they are drawing with you. Start by holding the crayon yourself as an example. Then place the crayon in your child's hand and wrap their fingers around it correctly. Guide their hand to trace a shape or write their name. Show your autistic child how to do this as early as possible; most children are able to properly hold a crayon by age 4. Have the child squeeze objects (such as a stress ball or play-dough) to build finger strength. Start with very soft objects and gradually work your way up to harder ones as the child gets stronger. Play-Doh and clay can help with dexterity. Your child can also try tasks like watering plants with a spray bottle. Get art materials such as chalk, paints, markers, crayons, scissors, coloring books, and stamps. Allow the child to make art with the supplies, without any pressure to perform. For example, have the child thread beads onto a string to increase finger dexterity. This can be a good opportunity to spend relaxed quality time with the child. Let the child choose what they want to do, and do activities together. Working on vertical surfaces helps autistic children develop crucial wrist muscles need for writing. Use an easel to encourage the child to paint or draw vertically. Magnetic and chalk wallpaper are also great for this. This can help them learn about the letters. Let them play games related to the alphabet, and learn what sounds each letter makes. Foam puzzles where pieces are shaped like letters Alphabet fridge magnets or window clings Singing the alphabet song
Summary: Teach the child how to hold a crayon the correct way. Try squeeze exercises to help them build muscle. Improve the child's fine motor skills with art projects. Build strength by having them paint and draw on vertical surfaces. Expose the child to the alphabet with simple techniques.

When drawing the flag or putting up a graphic of the flag with no pole, assume the pole is on the left side of the flag. This means that the thick white stripes should lay over the red stripes on the left side of the flag. When draping the flag over a coffin for a funeral service, make sure that the top left of the Union Jack be laid over the top left corner of the coffin. This is the traditional way to drape the flag for military funerals. Before cremating or burying the body, the flag should be removed and folded. It is improper to use the flag as drapage for seat covers or tablecloths, or as a cover for boxes, barriers, or art during an unveiling ceremony. If your patch of the flag is on the left shoulder, you should wear the flag as it would normally look. However, on the right shoulder, the flag should be flipped backwards. This is similar to American Military Uniforms which require the flag to be reverse.

Problem: Article: The potentially intense wind and sunlight will make stronger plants a better candidate for rooftop gardens. Seedlings with these qualities will be more likely to survive the first year. Add shade or windbreakers if you plan to add more fragile plants. Ornamental grasses, honeysuckles, and magnolias all do well in hot, sunny weather. Make sure you regularly water your plants, even those that are drought-resistant. Plants originating from your state or climate will attract native fauna, like birds and butterflies. They will also adapt more easily to your garden than non-native plants. If harsh winds or heat hits, your plants will be much more likely to survive. Decorate the garden with bird- or butterfly feeders to attract more animals. Ask your local nursery which plants are native to your area for your options. Large plants will weigh down your roof and leave less room for other decor. Small, ornamental trees and shrubs do well in rooftop gardens when protected with windbreakers and placed in stable containers. Add 2 to 4 trees or shrubs at most to conserve space. Trim your trees' roots every few years to keep them at a manageable size. Examples of ornamental trees and shrubs include: Dogwood, Japanese Lilac Tree, Crabapple, Star Magnolia, and Jack Dwarf Flowering Pear. Plants with large, supple leaves tend to get shredded by the high winds on rooftop gardens. They are also more likely to suffer winter-burn during the colder seasons. Smaller-leaved plants or pines thrive particularly well on rooftops.
Summary:
Look for drought and heat-tolerant plants. Buy plants native to your area. Choose ornamental trees and shrubs. Shy away from large-leaf plants.
