[QUOTE="Dara, post: 109211, member: 3572"] In the past we have tried using sign language but because of his behavioral issues it wasnt working. You have to understand that the language issue and behavioral issues are separate. Every dr we have seen is in complete agreement there. He has language skills I think that is what you are misunderstanding. He is rarely screaming from lack of our understanding or his understanding. His rages often have nothing to do with that. Our form of discipline is very simple. Throw something at me or hit me, you go to time out or basically a safe spot where he can rage without reward. Yesterday is the perfect example of how behavior and rage issues are the problem that take over everything else so it is very difficult to address the other issues when rage and negative behavior get in the way. Sammy does very well at the therapy. He does what is expected of him. However, we can do the exact same thing and have done the exact same things that we were told to do with him and he WILL NOT do anything that is asked without a physical battle. His therapsits have seen it and tried to coach it along but it does not transfer. Only the therapists can do these things with him. That is one of our major problems is that we will make all of this progress in therapy but none of it will be seen in our home. [/QUOTE]
