[QUOTE="Shari, post: 341325, member: 1848"] Recommendation from his therapist... Wee seems to be extremely sensitive right now. In order to keep him from escalating in therapy, he required my unwavering focus, redirection, gentle reflection, soft encouragement… If my voice had even a hint of coercion in it or if he didn't feel unconditional positive regard, he immediately responded verbally and harshly and would appear to be moving towards aggression. This was a regression from previous sessions and a reflection that his internal pressure is increased and is causing him to feel anxious and out of control. I cannot imagine him being able to handle the stimulation of a classroom at this time. And he certainly is not able to maintain safe behaviors without one on one support and redirection. For whatever reason, his obsessive-anxious trigger at this time is a peer named Mallory. His experiences with her seem to have created an almost phobic like level of anxiety about interacting with her. Unfortunately at this time, his response to that is wanting to have complete control as his anxiety feels so overwhelming. While Wee is bright and able to verbalize and even carryout positive coping skills when he is level, he lacks impulse control when agitated and may resort to aggression to try and manage his anxiety. Therefore, at this time, he may need to be closely monitored and maybe even contained in a separate classroom with minimal stimulation. [/QUOTE]
