[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Violent” how?

[/quote]

Op here. Hitting, kicking, punching, throwing things at me, swiping everything off the counter or grabbing anything he can get hands on to throw or destroy, spitting, biting, throwing himself into sliding glass doors, etc. [/quote]

what does the behavioral therapist say you should do when he does this?[/quote]

Op here. I’m still not really clear on what exactly I’m supposed to do. I know I’m not supposed to look at him or talk to him when I’m restraining or stopping him. And I know I’m supposed to keep things out of reach that he might grab or throw. And I know DH is supposed to take the lead in situations where these behaviors are likely to occur. And I know we’re supposed to do things like reinforcing good behavior and structured play time to teach him appropriate ways to request my attention. I’m still not sure what the incident response plan is supposed to be when he’s literally attacking me (aside from removing myself from the situation).[/quote]

Does he get a token economy/rewards?[/quote]

Op here. He gets rewards but we don’t do the tokens because he has an intellectual disability and it would be too complex for him to understand.[/quote]
