[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you PP. I was planning to do some of these things myself. How do I go about behavior therapy. Do I look for a behavioral psychologist[/quote]

KKI's outpatient clinic in Columbia was covered by our insurance, but depending on where you live, it's a trek.  KKI also has services for in-home sessions if you're in need of that.

If you're trying to find a behavioral therapist, look up who is covered by your insurance.  ABA is almost indistinguishable from behavioral therapy, so if that's covered try that.

Lastly, you can contact SN schools that are near you and ask whom they recommend.  Or you can look under the heading for "Special Needs and Home Therapy" from the last Ivymount School's Resource Fair: http://files.constantcontact.com/4bd8b013101/e84e0eaf-2fe2-4c60-bf9d-888dad4afb2c.pdf

(Behavioral principles for changing behavior is extremely similar for humans regardless of their diagnosis, and VERY similar to training animals if you've ever had a pet.  It's all about positive reinforcement.)[/quote]
