Will Therapy Work Without "Buy in"?

Let's talk BUY IN.

When I meet with a school aged student, I start by taking out a paper and drawing three circles. I explain that when we learn a new skill (like playing the piano for example) we need three things to succeed. They can usually guess the first two:

1) INSTRUCTION

2) PRACTICE

But I usually need to help them out with the third...

3) MOTIVATION!!
