Help with student

Hello there

I'm a new piano professor and one of my first students is a 6 yo boy who is visually impaired, nothing more than shades

He's also into ADHD and I'm pretty sure he is on the Autism spectrum.

He has an excellent ear and good memory

So he can play little pieces easily

But when it comes to technique it is really hard to teach him

Once that you get him to sit straight I will not take more than 5 minutes for him to get out of position.

He also doesn't understand how to relax the wrist even when I have tried to explain him how to relax it

Finger's articulations also collapses

The thing is this

When we correct the position (wrist or fingers) out of the piano he can make it

But when it comes to introduce them into the playing is like starting from 0

Any tips??
