Challenging behaviour and what to do

Guest · 2016-11-14T18:43:07+0000

Hi Just after some advice. I have a little boy that will be 4 yrs old in a couple of months. He has been with us for nearly a year and he is in the proess of being referred to a paediatrician by GP (hopefully) as we have concerns about his behaviour and he shows some autistic tendancies. I really cant say for sure if he has behavioural problems or is on the spectrum. I have referred to our sen team but they will not take him on as he is not severe enough. He has little clear langauge but does try to communicate and we can understand some of what he says. He has also uses learnt phrases eg help me please, no thank you. For the last 2 months I have been completing ABC form for behaviour. I have sat and assessed it all and there are recurring things - sharing/turn taking, sitting down for register/story, washing hands, coming inside from outside, not letting children in eg home corner (new one), eating sandwiches. Now this is not every time. Some days he will happily sit on the carpet, wash hands, come inside, eat all his dinner etc so i have determined it is not sensory. No pattern in children, times, lights, noise, smells etc and when I asked why he does not want to he said "dont want to". He has good understanding. I have now determined that some is avoidance behaviour (tidying up/sitting for reg) and some is wanting particular items. We are using visual time tables, first and then boards, gving choices etc. However whenever staff intervene he has melt downs resulting in him saying no, crying, hitting, pushing, throwing near items. We have set up a calm corner for him but he does not want to use it! We then find that we have to move the other children away from him to keep them safe. With avoidance behaviour from what i understand they must not be allowed to avoid the task otherwise that re-inforces the behaviour. So how would we go about getting him to sit for reg but keeping the other children safe. For eg tidy up once calm he is asked to put 1 item away and he will but sometimes he has not calmed down quickly enough to sit with others or when he has clamed down and we ask him to come sit back down some times he will happily, sometimes he starts again. There is no reasoning whilst he has his meltdown, we have to wait until he is calm. We do provide choices for him but one day he will sit lovley for story and then the next he refuses. It's all very tiring! I have been reading lots about interventions but just wondered if anyone else had any ideas? He likes the train track to be complete and gets upset if it isnt, is happy to play in water, sand, playdough, skips from one side of the room to the other in own world, gives eye contact, points to items he wants/things of interest, limited pretend play. We have changed setting, new staff in Sept and he coped amazingly..no issues during the first week back! He has IEP/behaviour support plan Thanks
