[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 474667, member: 7664"] I would not punish for outburts. The outbursts are a result of poor coping skills. I would work on prevention, keeping everyone safe during the episode and then teaching about coping skills during a calm time. The punishment after the outburst is probably escalating the situation. If we really believe these issues are a result of mental illness, disability, lack of skills, then we should be approaching this from a teaching rather than punitive standpoint (I do know this is much easier said than done, but I believe this is how these types of issues should be viewed).
