inappropriate vocalizing/Kim

[Guest guest]

Kim...

I just got back from my Carbone Clinic evaluation so this one is fresh in my

mind. Of course without seeing why he's doing this... this advice is just

advice. I'm just a mom.. not a professional!

Try the count and mand procedure. When he vocalizes at the table say

something like " no gibberish (i realize that's a difficult word.. maybe you

can come up with something better.. but I am trying to avoid no talking!

how about " be quiet... " okay let's try that.) be quiet...1, 2, 3, 4, 5..

and you keep stating the request and counting until the child complies. And

then move into a reinforcing activity when the child complies.

I've seen this work very well with my son and emphasize this tact will not

be taken forever! The child will comply quicker and quicker if it is done

on a constant basis.
