[QUOTE="pattyb, post: 505340, member: 13784"] Thanks again everyone. I don't know if I should make a new post for this question but we are so new to all this and trying to figure out the best sort of treatment to be looking for- as far as therapy. We have a behavior analyst working on a behavior plan that she will help implement and a psychologist who will do some sort of play-based therapy (and advising us) once a week. He's in preschool part time and no services. And we will start Occupational Therapist (OT) asap. Our biggest concern is the aggression and meltdowns over insignificant things or caused by being obsessive over something random. That can happen at any point during the day even if he's been in a great mood the second before it happens - something random will set him off and suddenly he's in full meltdown mode. If an acceptable solution is made he can snap right out of it, or if it's something we can't help him with (because we don't understand what it is he wants us to do or etc.) or that we can't let him do then it could last an hour. I hope that doesn't make it sound like it's just about not getting his way- I mean 'his way' could be something so random like the way we tell him something or word something or because someone is interrupting him when he's trying to say something real fast and can't seem to get out the words. We really aren't sure what type of therapy or intervention by us or a therapist would address something like that, does it exist? If we can't identify the triggers? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
