Re: Aggressive behaviors/Jayne

[Guest guest]

Thats it Jayne, they use the pictures too but most of

the time the picture isnt right there.So they model

hands on laps.The use monotone voices and no

emotion.They tell me its very difficult to keep a

straight face with Mic because he sits there and makes

faces.(Mr. Personality} At home I cant keep a straight

face I walk away.Mic knows the mad face and he does

not want to get a mad face either.He puts his hands

over his eyes and peeks out with one eye and as if to

say " are ya still mad Mom " its so cute everybody

cracks up.Thats why I walk away.Trying not to let him

see me smiling.Do you have any info on this method I

would love to read something about it.I didnt see it

anywhere in my search. Thanks Laurie

Hi Laurie,

http://www.icontalk.com/IT-1.html This is the exact product used at the

conference I attended. It was Barbara Bloomfield with Icon Talk. She's an SLP

in New York.

The example she gave was if a child was tearing paper continuosly you would

show them the " hands down " picture. These are called " super symbols " . They are

large in size 8 " x 8 " . Only a single symbol on each page, concrete in content,

quick " fixes " . They include: Hands down,wait, all done, quiet, mouth closed,

stand,come here, etc...

General Guidelines for Intervention:

- Target what " to do " versus what " not to do " IE: Positive behavioral

directives.

- Use principals of a structured teaching approach and visual supports

- Choicemaking

Hope this helps. Expore her website a bit.

Take care,

Jayne
