Re: Help for 5 yr old AS who interrupts

[Guest guest]

A beahviorist would say not to focus on the negative. Make a big

fuss of when she doesn't interrupt. And if need be, rehearse with

her like this I am going to go on the phone and you walk up to

me and wait while I am talking and lets see if you can wait 3 minutes and if she

will rehearse with you give her points/rewards for that.

You can practive different scenarios.

What a great suggestion. I have a similar problem with my 7 year old and I find

myself always lecturing him on it. I am going to try this. thanks for the idea.

They have "tally counters" so you can just click the button each time she displays the behavior.

( ) Help for 5 yr old AS who interrupts

I can't seem to think of a solution for my 5 year old who constantly interrupts. She is very HF and responds well to positive rewards. I'd like to try something where we count how many times she interrupts but can't think of anything.

Any suggestions?

When my son was in kindergarten (regular class) he would interrupt the teacher at the board many times. So they came up with a system. He had a jar full of small wooden cubes (about the size of dice). He had a small empty jar. Whenever he would interrupt, he had to put a cube into the empty jar. If the original jar emptied out, then he would not get the positive reward for the day (i think it was special time playing with legos). Eventually they decreased the number of cubes. Then they came up with the idea that the teacher would call on him every fifth time (he always knew all the answers). No one else knew, it was their secret. He was able to decrease his interruptions significantly because he knew he would be called on. And yes, he counted! So the teacher was very careful to always call on my son every five times.

He still calls out in class a bit (he's in fifth grade) but they are working on it as a behavioral goal...
