[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 373168, member: 7664"] Reward charts were like punishment for my son. It meant if he couldn't accomplish a task or act in a certain way, due to mood changes or anxiety, then in essence he was being punished for his disability. I know that confounds certain people who strongly believe in behavior modification, but it was true for us. I feel those type of charts are saying this is all about controllable behavior and nothing to do with diagnosis. For my difficult child, he definitely has times were he can control his behavior or at least modify it to acceptable parameters and other times he is just not capable-it can be extremely hard to tease those apart, not to mention when you can tease them apart, how you will explain that you won't enforce the chart under certain circumstances (like mood change/mania, already in tantrum/rage mode and no executive decision-making happening).
