[QUOTE="buddy, post: 505341, member: 12886"] You may find that due to the underlying issues (autism, auditory processing, language and communication, not being able to read non verbal communication well, sensory integration issues and on and on... ) that doing a typical behavior program may only help for those things that he can change without so much support (as you said, may not be understanding so adding a sticker chart or giving a time out may just add to the frustration but there are times we have to do in the short run something for safety but then still plug on with the additional issues ) so, until you get hte full story... and then also check with Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) you may not know what therapies. If you find that there is autism you will want more of an autism expert not a behavior expert who knows about autism or has met a kid with autism...someone who really has worked and trained specifically on the well researched forms of therapy for autism. If it is not that, you will try other things, again based on the underlying issues or also a bigger "umbrella" condition (like autism, versus mental health diagnosis versus a medical/health issue etc...) You said he is in preschool, I can't remember, is he in early childhood special education??? If not, start that process now.... let us know and if you are not in that, we can help you if you want help in how to get that going. [/QUOTE]
