Guest guest Posted April 1, 2000 Report Share Posted April 1, 2000 Jenn ... I am not sure wether this will be of any use to you....my son is the KING of verbal stims, although of course we try what we can to redirect. my consultant early on told me about the " do your scheduel " drill in this drill the child is prompted to " learn " and " play " with a toy appropriatly and independantly. there is VERBAL prompting , you may only prompt child from behind HOH while child stands facing table ( the standing part is important ) if the child BEGINS to stim verbally you , from behind pull the child slightly back from the table , freezing them until they are quiet , when they are they are prompted to complete task/puzzle/stacking cups etc... I have learned to try to stop verbal stims is very difficult in a generalized fashion. Although this may ONLY stop verbal stims while the drill is going, by teaching if they make noise they can not complete the toy/game etc...so I would make sure that if you were going to do this drill, the toys should be desirable as possible, otherwise you could start running into avoidance with the self stim. The only reinforcement given to the child ( depends where they are in program ) are tangibles from BEHIND or rubbing the back lightly , indicating good work. This is an indepentant program that is why there is no talking, however this program I do believe could help build up the child's NON vocal stim times. hope this helps , but anyone feel free to email me if you have further questions. norrah aba4u@...
