[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 574640, member: 15799"] Ktllc, that therapist is not knowledgeable OR competent when it comes to spectrum behaviors from the sounds of your post. Personally, I would have told him not to bother coming back and work on the skills myself. YOU know your kids and YOU know what needs working on and YOU are in a position to prioritize them ..... without intentionally putting V through all that. It reminds me of horror stories I've heard about where therapists "make" their clients get over their fears by immersing them in them for an extended period of time with no way out, no lifeline. That's basically what that therapist did to V. Poor kid. I realize he has issues. So do both of my kids. I have prioritized their lacking skills to work on (no more than 1 or 2 at a time) and my kids are 14! I teach in the moment a LOT and have only been "negotiating" with difficult child 1 for a year now. It's not perfect but we are getting better. There is a lot of time to work with V on skills he will need. Getting off my soapbox now. Supportive (((HUGS))) coming your way with a few extra (((HUGS))) for V. [/QUOTE]
