[quote=Anonymous]Relax mom.. your doing a great job, I'm sure. The fact that you care, have him therapy and are seeking help is doing a good job!!

I'm not sure what kind of therapy he is in but maybe the therapist has some ideas for school. Is the meltdown happening at a certain time of day when he may be hungry or tired or is it when there is a lot of different things going on such as transitions or free play (which can be tough for some kids).. I think the key is to figure out if there is a pattern to the meltdowns and then what may be triggering it.

My son is younger and has different needs but we have a very small chart, that is used by his teachers that a sticker is added to the box when he does what he is supposed to. The chart is used throughout the day not just once a day.  It is always there for him to see and when he gets all the stars/stickers whatever, then he gets whatever he is working for that day. Whatever he is working for is listed on the bottom. Then set a bigger goal for him to work towards (say, if he gets all the stars for 3 days straight then he gets a toy he wants, or to watch a movie etc).
