Off-Topic 3 y/o mildly autisic/SPD Behavior issues and Prov 50 questions

July 13, 2008

Our son is 3 and is doing well in IU Preschool, Speech and OT (out of

network..) and we have also reduced Gluten and Casein(Trying to

eventually get to a 90% GFCF Diet) but we are running into road blocks

getting a Provider 50 for a BSC and TSS. Anyway... We had a TSS and

mobile therp but they went to other agencies...

Here's our real dilemma, our son pushes his sister and playmates

either when stimming or not. He sometimes grabs them by the throat and

pushes them down to the ground and smiles. We know he doesn't mean any

harm! We have explained this to both his therapists and they are

working on it. *No incidents like this occur at his preschool.

We have also addressed this in his " plan " at his current Provider 50

but they are short on TSS and BSC..so we have no one currently. I have

been calling other providers. I called his case mng at the county

level and they have been little help. Also...Our IU is booked in their

ABA/V.B program.

I've read this three times, but I'm failing to understand the problem or ? here,

sorry.

My only advice is to make sure he is totally supervised when with other

children. I do understand that some children do not realize the consequences of

their action, but being put in a choke hold and pushed to the ground is liable

to be traumatic for other children.

I never heard of a stim that caused a child to put their hands around another

child's neck, sorry, if I am misunderstanding this.
