We were looking at home schooling. Taking him out of school, away from his peers, I felt, would have pushed him even further back. It was not until I was at my wit's end and feeling totally useless and helpless that my eyes finally opened. It took me about three days to read through it, highlight the vital parts, and totally absorb everything it had to offer. Here's what I've learned so far.
All parents wonder what the best way to manage their child's behavior and discipline their child.
For parents of children with disabilities, and particularly children with behavioral disabilities, these questions can be even harder to answer. As parents learn how to interpret their needs it serves, they can become more effective in dealing with their child's changing behavior. All disabilities, whether mental or physical, can affect a child's behavior. The type of disability and its impact on the child's adjustment must be considered in the way parents respond to their child's challenging behavior. It's a demanding task and society requires no formal preparation for it.
