[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 511510"] Typical behavior programs do NOT work with most of our kids. The action-consequence-reward connections just aren't there. By doing these types of programs, it can almost be setting them up for failure. Just some possible other things you can look into to see if they MIGHT fit are Reactive Attachment Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, as well as Sensory Integration Disorders. For kids with PTSD and/or Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) (like my son), physical restraints actually trigger the PTSD and the fight/flight response making things 100% worse. The LAST thing anyone should ever do with my son is physically restrain him. That will set off a sheer panic. However, in some cases (not ours), some kids like the secure feeling of being restrained so will act out in order to get that need met. They don't know how to get it appropriately so they do what works. The reason I bring all these things up is that there are SO many other ways to look at things. If what you're doing isn't working, you need to stop doing it and try something else. Doing the wrong thing can a lot of times cause even more damage, some irreparable. Sometimes it IS a very fine line we walk. [/QUOTE]
