[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mention the receptive speech issues almost as an afterthought but really they are driving the behavioral train here. Stop expecting him to thrive in situations that he can't understand and master. It's not fair to him.[/quote] This was exactly my thought. Kids need consistency and routine so they can understand what is expected. Often they aren't defiant, but do not understand. They get frustrated as you get frustrated if they do no understand. For us, the behavioral stuff was very linked to speech and we had severe receptive and expressive delays and when the language came, so did everything else, but it was a very very slow progression. Time outs don't work with these kids. Redirection and stopping before escalating works much better.[/quote]
