[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 15421, member: 1550"] I'm thinking that it really depends on the root cause of the child's behavior. This type of program tends to work very well with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/autism spectrum kids. They really like the charts and rewards. Negatives work poorly for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). But if a child has an unstable mood disorder (not stabilized on medication yet), it will be hard for the child to comply even if he wants to, with his brain chemistry a mess and his moods not within his control. Trust me, as a child I was one of those mood unregulated kids and I tried--I probably tried harder than "normal" kids--but I lost it anyways and it wasn't pretty when I did, and all the stuff my parents tried just flew out the window; I was not in control. I know I was not in control of my rages and, once in a rage, not in control of what damage I did during them. Thank God for medications! Late speech is a huge red flag for autistic spectrum disorder, which is best diagnosed by a neuropsychologist, who will run extensive tests. Mood problems and ADHD do not include speech delays. I don't buy and never will buy that your young child has Conduct Disorder. To me, that's an irresponsible diagnosis for one so young.
