I'm aware that I'm taking over the forum - I don't know anywhere else to ask for help (I'm on ABA-UK but am not sure if it is for general discussion).
It's a bank holiday weekend & we're not in contact with the consultant. I have massive concerns about what we're doing.
Basically ds is not compliant at all - he tantrums & goes rigid - we're doing errorless motor imitation ---> instruct-prompt-reward.
The prompt is physical/hand over hand he really resists it to the point where we have to force him to make the action - it was limp passive resistance which made him easy to prompt but this is wrestling & restraint to keep him sitting.
The tasks are ones he can & has done previously (gross motor imitation), we've got lots of reinforcers ... we're switching between a few minutes of work & really good play (trampoline/water pistol etc). What if he doesn't understand we want him to do?
I don't know what to do? How much is too much? Can we change anything ... I'm worried we're harming him.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
