Behavior Modification Plan for Your Aspergers or HFA Child

A short-term behavior modification plan can break through a cycle of bad behavior in your Aspergers (AS) or High-Functioning Autistic (HFA) youngster. Think of it as a learning tool to help him move forward to a new level of social development. Four to six weeks on the plan is usually enough to change one or two specific behavior problems. At the very least, your youngster will have a clear understanding of your expectations for his behavior, even if he is not yet able to consistently maintain the desirable behavior.

  2. Hi,
    A lot of these newsletters are aimed at modifying young childrens behaviour. What about young teenagers, charts & stars dont 'cut it'? There doesnt seem to be many ideas for older children, does this mean at 14 years old its too late? I imagine that many mothers like myself would refuse to believe that and try the best we can, but a little help for this age group would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks

  4. Our son was just diagnosed with
    Aspergers last week. I found your blog and you have no idea how much it has helped me understand things better. We will be starting the chip system with him today. Thank you for such a common sense approach.

  5. Thank you so much for this post. It has shown me a way that i can see will be very effective with my son. Being only diagnosed a few days ago, but knowing the issue for a while, behaviour has been a huge problem and i can see the light will show very soon in our right now dark tunnel.

  7. Hi everyone,

    I am hoping that someone can help me with some ideas for my son who was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. We seem to be having trouble with him being able to focus and keep his hands to himself while he is at football practice. We have recently started a behavior modification chart for him yesterday. It appeared that the chart worked somewhat, but I am wondering if there is any advice from others that have gone through a similar situation. I am think of writing up a social story for him, but have never done that before. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly accepted. Thank you in advance for your help.
