[QUOTE="buddy, post: 577482, member: 12886"] I totally missed this. Q was (is) a ripper too. (not as in Jack the, lol) He was given telephone books and boxes of recycling paper. what really made him happy was when he got popping bubble wrap though! That slowed the ripping down!! Funny, for Christmas one year each staff member gave him a roll of bubble wrap of all different size bubbles, lol. One hard thing was that Q overgeneralized and started ripping up every paper so it was important to only do it in one place from a "ripping" box. If he uses any mayer johnson symbols you can put a RIP with a red DONT circle over it on things that you dont want ripped. Or if he starts ripping something not ok, then put an extra one on it so he sees that it is a DO NOT RIP item. Sometimes verbals will increase anxiety or for multiple other reasons may increase the behavior. Hopefully an Occupational Therapist (OT) can help with underlying sensory needs to help with the overall issue. PS, if he really likes it and it can be controlled to some specific OK things to rip??? then you have a great reinforcer for after doing other tasks... first math, then RIP BOX!!!!! [/QUOTE]
