[QUOTE="buddy, post: 465801, member: 12886"] They are not able to diagnose sensory integration disorder per se but they are likely to have had so much experience with kids with autism that they are very very aware of sensory issues and how they affect behavior. They must consider any "antecedent" or things that trigger behaviors. For many kids sensory issues contribute to that. Certainly worth mentioning to them and reminding them to consider it. I dont know the behaviors you are going to consult with them about so this may or may not apply, but be wary of any behavior person that judges most of the behaviors as "attention seeking". First, seeking attention is actually a good thing to have (try doing therapy with a kid who doesn't even care if anyone looks at them or talks to them etc....really tough) it is often viewed as seeking inappropriate attention. In fact the behavior that might appear to be simply attention seeking is because the child does not have the skills or the ability to use skills in order to seek attention in an appropriate way. The intervention is often then, ignoring the behavior-usually makes the child feel ignored/frustrated (and which is another method that just doesn't really work because the very act of ignoring means you respond to a behavior in an unusual way,so really you are paying attention to it!) It takes an amazingly strict protocol and environment to really do a good ignoring procedure where you can just ignore the target behavior and not the full child, etc. In most settings, some kid in the setting or outside adult is going to glance or say something etc. Just mentioned it because nearly every FBA or any other behavior report I have received for my difficult child, or have been a part of writing, has had one or two people who are short sighted that way. It is the number one (in the books and research I have read) error in doing behavior analysis. My best to you, [/QUOTE]
