[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 483027, member: 3930"] Thanks Martie!! Allan - I am super familiar with the ALSUP and lagging skills. In fact, I sent the school a "Lost at School" care-package and have been trying to educate them on Ross Greene's philosophy. I even printed out the ALSUP forms and had his teacher and Special Education teacher fill them out as well as my husband and I - I gave copies to the new therapist. He hasn't really mentioned it since. These are the ones we have identified he has the most trouble with: _____Difficulty persisting on challenging or tedious tasks _____Difficulty considering the likely outcomes or consequences of actions (impulsive) _____Difficulty considering a range of solutions to a problem _____Difficulty expressing concerns, needs, or thoughts in words _____Difficulty understanding what is being said _____Difficulty managing emotional response to frustration so as to think rationally _____Chronic irritability and/or anxiety significantly impede capacity for problem-solving or heighten frustration _____Difficulty seeing the grays/concrete, literal, black-and-white, thinking _____Difficulty handling unpredictability, ambiguity, uncertainty, novelty _____Inflexible, inaccurate interpretations/cognitive distortions or biases (e.g., Everyones out to get me, Nobody likes me, You always blame me, Its not fair, Im stupid) _____Difficulty appreciating how his/her behavior is affecting other people _____Difficulty empathizing with others, appreciating another persons perspective or point-of-view _____Difficulty appreciating how s/he is coming across or being perceived by others I guess I just don't know where to go from here. The concept makes the most sense to me - identify the lagging skills, identify the unsolved problems, then teach the lagging skills. TEACH the lagging skills. That is where I am not finding help in the books. How to teach these lagging skills we have identified. Is this something we should ask the therapist to work with him on? I should add, difficult child is very intelligent, score in the high superior range for IQ at age 5 - although it dropped quite a bit when he was re-evaluated last year. He developed his verbal skills early - so I never really thought he didn't understand what we say to him. But maybe? [/QUOTE]
