Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 I gave my child a pair of shakers or maracas every time his little hands went up. I followed him like a hawk and within a week the behavior went down 50%, within 3 weeks he stopped hand flapping. Every time he had that urge to flap he reached for the shakers which is perfectly normal as typical children play with them too. A month later it was all history. putteti subbareddy wrote: >Dear Sir/Madam, > > I have a boy 4 years old and he has >slight autistic features. he used to flap the hand >most of the time in a day. so how to avoid that one? >please give me advice to stop that one. > >yours faithfully, >Subba Reddy. > >__________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
