Re : vocal stimming question

[Guest guest]

We used for that, on advice of our BCBA, iShufle, with light classic music

(Mozart is great for that! or another if child likes) on low volume: it gives

the sensorial stimulation child looks for. Sometimes it's a longway for child to

accept this thing in ears but with behaioral issue it's also possible. Of

course, we don't need use that all the time (I guess it's not very good for

child).

Objet : vocal stimming question

Hi Everyone-

I ran into a friend of mine last night that also has a son with ASD. He is

nonverbal and a HUGE vocal stimmer. Like a constant AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! noise she

says every waking moment. It is very loud and she is at her wits end. They

have done biomedical and she has treated for yeast and bacteria in the past. She

treated even though tests did not indicate they were an issue. Last yeat, they

stopped all supplements. The verbal stimming has increased in volume and

frequency over time. I had nothing to tell her but thought someone might have

an idea on what I can tell her. He has never been a sleeper either and she is

exhausted. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

beth
