Re: Re: Chair with Restraints?

Perhaps a big kid stroller (perhaps from Abilitations - you might be able to get a prescription so insurance will cover part of the cost). Can keep in the house and strap him in just long enough for you to make him something to eat, take a shower, etc. so he won't hurt himself; you'll also be able to use to take him places to keep him from running away.

 

Rifton chair?  Don't know if they make them for big kids but it's usually used for kids who need positioning.

Hi -I can so relate to your issue. My son is now 10 (aspergers) and we have recently in the past few months started biomed.I can remember when he was little (your son's age) he would be clawing to get out of his car seat and I would have to pull over several times because he would get out of the chair.

I agree with the other replies that biomed and dietary changes will help alot. But you need something NOW to get you through the day. I sympathize with you and I wish I had an answer.Nanci

>> Hi all!! My ASD son, Ian, is 4.5. He is incredibly hyperactive and going through a destructive phase of throwing things ALL THE TIME. We put him in his room and he is trashing his room as well. > > I'd like to put him in time out in a chair with straps that will hold him. I feel as though this would be a great chair for dinner as well, when we would like to have the whole family sit together. Does anyone know of such a chair? My live would be much easier if there were momentw where he were near me, sitting in a chair at the table drawing or playing with playdoe, and not haveing to worry about where he's going to run off to next.
