[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 181501, member: 1991"] Shari, you said, ""Positive reinforcement" is not happening fast enough, if at all." This sounds like the problem is way out of reach of positive reinforcement. Maybe it would work if the problem was just a kid being difficult, or wayward. But that's not this problem. No, this kid has something REALLY wrong and for whatever reason, CAN'T do what is asked. There is something about the way he is being asked, or what he is being asked to do, that is causing trouble. When his behaviour is not improving no matter what is tried, then maybe it's time for teachers and everybody to recognise that at least for now, he CAN'T change. Punishing him for what he can't do, is cruel and counterproductive. The trouble is, schools do try to fit our square peg kids into round holes; they try doing this for some time before they finally realise (if ever) that a square hole is needed. You can't just hope to force off those corners from the square peg. Not if they're made from steel. He needs help. Maybe talk to them on "Special Education" forum? Marg [/QUOTE]
