[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 389955, member: 6546"] Not to be a "negative nelly" or anything...but I can't imagine a game that you could do once a week at home that will translate into the de-escalation of an outburst at school. If he has trouble following directions - why is that? Does he have trouble transitioning from one activity to another? Does he mis-understand the directions? Does he have some sort of processing delay issue that makes it difficult to remember what is being asked of him from one moment to the next? It is the skills that are lacking that need to be addressed or "practiced". It would also help if the teacher had something she could use in class to prevent him from reaching such a point of frustration that he lashes out. Perhaps he needs more warning before the next activity is going to start? Maybe the instructions need to be broken down into much smaller steps? Or the teacher needs to speak more slowly? Or use visual cues instead of verbal - or vice versa? [/QUOTE]
