I do understand ABA but that sounds like the old ABA and not the one they currently use now. That would cause me to have behaviors issues to have some one hound me like that. You try so many trials move on to something else and then come back to it. That just doesn't make sense to me to try for 20 mins to say one word. If he is agitated already that would only help it to escalate in my opinion. Sorry I know my way of thinking is way off from everyone else's. Carol Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 <<This story is reminding me of the " socks in the house incident " . >> That was us which is why this particular incident hits home so much. WHY don't they get it?? One of the coolest techniques I know for getting a kid to say a particular word that it has been proven CAN be said is to do the imitation request clap your hands, spin around, touch your head, stick out your tongue, jump up and down, say " shoe " . 99% of the time this works but it's just too dang much work for a therapist. They'd rather sit there and hammer away at a kid and accuse him of being stubborn. grrrrrrrrrr. The " sock " lady is coming tomorrow AM. Can't wait.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hi Laurie, Common sense tells me that any young child would not be too happy with someone insisting that they say a word that they do not want to for 20 minutes! What's up with that? I would be slapping and kicking too. I think the evil eye was worth paying attention to. Those teachers would have had my foot in their mouth. I have no patience for idiots and less for the so called degreed professionals. Our kids deserve to have their requests honored and to be treated respectfully.

I left hoping he would straighten up. I couldnt believe my eyes.He was good yesterday I cant figure out what the problem is.And hes giving all of us the evil eye, will not attend. I am hoping its just because he was off from school and will get better as the week goes on.It took them 20 minutes to get him to say toe which he can say but was refusing they wont give in if it takes all day. Phew I havent seen this behavior in along time.He was acting worse then all the other kids. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
