Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I don't know what all you have tried to get your son to stop yelling. My Karac is 14 and what had worked with him is saying, "be calm and quiet". and giving a reinforcer for "good being calm and quiet".

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hello. I'm new here, My son is 10 years old he has autism, his speech is affected but now it is getting better compared to the previous year., I live in India where we lack the training facilities for autism, this year after completing 10 years he has developed a new habit to yell loudly especially at me and if I tell him to stop he yells more, I get very disturbed by this new behavior then after about 20 minutes or so he is very calm, any suggestions how to handle this, Thanking you in advance, God bless you Kalpana Lobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 my initial reaction would be to put him on extinction when he is yelling...totally ...no eye contact ...no talking. Do not recognize the yelling at all then as soon as there is a lull in the yelling..even 1 second...reward that and engage him. If he starts to yell again then go back to step one and ignore that and wait for some quiet. Lots of praise for using a good talking voice or whatever term you use with him and make it worth his while to cooperate...but totally ignore the negative..I know it is hard but it will pay off.Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi Missy, thanks for your response, yes it is very tough to ignore his yelling but I will try it out, I think he is seeking more attention or he is eating some gluten products such as cookies as they tell them to share their snacks and then he behaves like this, but this new behavior started this year only, I will try out what you said,God bless youKalpana wrote: my initial reaction would be to put him on extinction when he is yelling...totally ...no eye contact ...no talking.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 That will work. It worked with my grandson Karac. It took a long time of being consistent, but it worked.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I know it is hard and it will take some time but I promise it will work..the hard part is for you to be consistent and not give in....Don;t be surprised if the behavior esculates before you see some improvement..I know easier said than done. I would also address the gluten issue...a lot of our kids CANNOT handle even the smallest amount in their systems without their bodies ( and consequently the negative behavior) rebelling...missy Yelling habit Hello.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I agree with on this.....GW tends to yell quite frequently~especially when he wants something or is upset..... we used to engage him, but that only increased his verbal output...now when he yells~we simply ignore him..... A. that makes him come to us to ask for something, which is normally milk....and B.when upset, he realizes we are not going to "reward" his outbursts by engaging him. It can be hard, but it does work~amazingly. April wrote: my initial reaction would be to put him on extinction when he is yelling...totally ...no eye contact ...no talking.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Be very carefull when you use extinction (ignoring). Extinction often leads to extinction bursts or aggression. If the child is not getting the reaction he wants, and is used to, he will often act up more intensely, and increase the level of behavior. If screaming doesn't get your attention, than breaking an object, or hitting you may get your attention. If you respond to that, than you shape his behavior to get worse. Yes, extinction can work, but be prepared to handle what may be thrown at you. It is much better to focus on what replacement behavior you want to see. What do you want him to do, instead of screaming? If you take away screaming, what behavior do want him to do to get the same end? This gives him an alternative behavior that will lead him to what he wants. Then, when you ignore the screaming he will know what behavior to turn to in order to get what he needs. Ignore the inappropriate behavior (screaming) and reinforce heavily when he chooses the alternative response.
