The school here where I live isnt much help especially when he has a bad day. I wish that children with Aspergers are more protected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-31658133765013315682012-04-22T07:47:05.550-07:002012-04-22T07:47:05.550-07:00My son doesn't have a contract but we use a ma...My son doesn't have a contract but we use a magnet chart..when he doesn't earn his magnet he throws a tantrum! He doesn't seem to understand what the magnets are for (nor did he when we used stickers).

The idea behind a contract is to get some things in place to PREVENT a meltdown from happening in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-80163727123198064212012-04-19T12:37:56.621-07:002012-04-19T12:37:56.621-07:00My 6th grader has been on a behavior contract at s...My 6th grader has been on a behavior contract at school since he was in Kinder. It's been a TREMENDOUS help. While he still has melt downs, after the fact he understands what happened and why he didn't earn the mark for that box during that class period. <br /><br />Also, we can now head off meltdowns by noticing when he starts to spiral and then refer to the contract and how he won't earn his mark. He often can now redirect himself.

Thank you for the note!
I was delighted ...Mark,<br /> <br />Thank you for the note!<br /> <br />I was delighted to find your link on the web! So many parents are looking for better ways to approach matters that seemingly cause friction in the household. I myself find that when I bring humor into situations I know are about to get out of control, it stops everyone in their tracks and they put on a smile! It relieves the tension and gets everyones attention. :)<br /> <br />Thank you for dedicating your time and effort in this field of study! Parents are looking for answers on how best to handle situations that typically result in conflict. As a Mom my goal is to see my child lead a happy, healthy life, that enables him to make a contribution in this world. However big or small that may be, based on his God given talents.<br /> <br />Thank you again!<br /><br />With respect,<br /> <br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-17888696465806706062010-10-25T09:50:55.770-07:002010-10-25T09:50:55.770-07:00This is an amazing idea having Aspergers myself me...This is an amazing idea having Aspergers myself means that i can effectifely comment and this sounds like an amazing idea!:DMatthewnoreply@blogger.com
