[QUOTE="SRL, post: 108300, member: 701"] Janna, Occupational Therapist (OT) may help with some of this. Kids who are more agitated in the sensory sense are more prone to become highly irritated by sensory input such as surrounding noises. I would caution using noise blocking headphones on a regular basis--occasional use is fine but the more people wear earplug or noise reducers the more sensitive they become to noise (found that out from forums when I had ear problems). Expressing himself--you might suggest looking for alternate ways for Dylan to express himself when frustrated. Having the dialogue on paper works for some kids--slows down the process and changes the channel. This is used with many kids who are Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/hyperlexic because they're more in tune to written language. Appropriate behaviors--have you or the school used social stories with him? This is a very common technique used with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids to teach appropriate behaviors. There are also a ton more materials than even 5 years ago to help get the message across. I don't think this DVD set has one on anger but here's an example that's been getting rave reviews from parents: [url="http://www.modelmekids.com/"]http://www.modelmekids.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
