[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 459461, member: 11847"] The first thing that comes to my mind: J and the teacher have a different interpretation of the action taken after misconduct. If he is sent to a cool down spot after misbehaving, J could feel he is being punished and the teacher sees it as a coping method (coping for both J and her and the class). I use that technique with V and the therapist helps him regognize when he needs to use. Ideally, he would go to his cool down spot when he feels overwhelmed, stressed (...... whatever negative emotion) on his own and before anything bad happens. We are still working on it but he is doing progress. The first few times I have used the cool down spot, V thought he was being punished. I had to explain it MANY times that it was not a punishment but a way to cope with an overwhelming situation, a way to find a happy place again. Maybe try to implement that technique at home so it becomes more acceptable for him at school. It takes time to teach, but it is well worth it. I made V's cool down spot very attractive: a nice comforter on the floor, some little toys in a box, a big Ikea leaf on top. It s tucked between the couch and the wall in the livingroom: he can isolate himself but also is able to peack at me if he wants to. He can get out when ever he wants, but I keep on explaining that the right time is when he is calm again. As far as the multidisciplinary team: go for it! It will give a baseline of any progress or set back for the future. I just did it with V and his delays are not big enough yet. The team wants to monitor him every 6 months though. [/QUOTE]
