Guest guest Posted September 7, 1999 Report Share Posted September 7, 1999 BJS, Welcome to the list! I hope you'll find it helpful with your boy. It has been a huge help to me over the past 19 months.

Only for use with machines and > what-not. Ooh...sorry. I was told that because they are tested as " safe " for foods and oxygen, they were safe for kids to chew on. I know there are therapists all over giving these to children... Come to think of it, I suppose those disposable aluminum pans are " safe " for foods...probably wouldn't want my kid chewing on one, though... That takes me back to my original post...New Visions and PDP. They sell stuff that is " fer shur " safe...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 --- jacquie, Perhaps his teacher or the school could help with this. Is he doing ABA, usually they do a functional analysis to see what triggers these behaviors. He sounds awfully frustrated, not being able to communicate. Does he always hit Greggory? Do you suppose hes doing some of it for attention. Thea In parenting_autism@y..., " Jacquie " <jacquie_harris@n...> wrote: > Alec is a terrorizing the house!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 Jacquie, Kep went through a similar stage at the same age. I agree that you should have the teachers work on some ABA stuff to curb some of the behaviors. I could email you privately with some procedures that have worked with Kep. I also wanted to say that Kep will be 4 1/2 this month and he really seems to be outgrowing this stuff! Good luck.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 . This is exactly how I trained Marilla & Sherman. One verbal cue without hand on hand, then physically lead her (or him) through the process while repeating the verbal command constantly until we were done. Like everything, it takes time. But it is a Very Effective method. I rarely have to resort to that method anymore as they now understand most of my verbal commands.

I just happen to have a nonverbal, nonresponsive to punishment, awfully difficult child of a little more than three years who's as strong as most 4 year olds I've met... We threaten to punish, punish (to no effect whatsoever), and yell. Nothing. Our best approaches have been to first try hand-on-hand playing (literally holding his hands/arms and helping him share, doing all the verbal cues, etc. for playing nice). If he's not capable of cooperating with that, we just isolate him and distract him with something else that he likes, like a Dr. Seuss ABC book or toys that spin and ding...
