Hello. Thanks for good educations for Autism. I need some recommendations for my son. My 8 year old son pulls threads from shirts, pants, carpet, and blankets. He ruins his closes almost everyday. And, he often eats threads. What can I replace his behavior with?
Hello and thank you for reaching out. A strategy that you can try is to replace that behavior by providing him items to fidget with to keep his hands occupied in a more appropriate manner. Some examples would be pop-its, fidget spinners and fidget cubes. Increasing fine motor activities where he can fill that sensorial need would be helpful as well. Some examples would be threading pasta through strings and popping bubble wraps. We would encourage to put this behavior on extinction so that he does not have the opportunity to practice it, hence replacing it with the suggestions above would be helpful.
Please feel free to reach out to us at enquiries@autismmalaysia.com should you have more questions. Our team will also be able to connect with you to understand your child further and provide specific strategies for your child. Thank you.
My six year old laughs looking at the words on the books or on names of daily used bottles like sun silk and some times she remembers those words and laughing . We used many reinforcers to reduce but nothing worked .. could you help me suggesting what type of sensory need she is looking for .. thanks in advance
Hi Sikaram Sushma, thank you for reaching out to us.
It does sound that your daughter's behavior serves the function of a self-stimulatory behavior - or also known as a stimming behavior (feel free to refer to our resource on Understanding the Function of Behaviors to understand more: ruclips.net/video/zMPXW7C7EnM/видео.html).
The act of stimming itself reinforces the child to keep engaging in the behavior as it is an automatic reinforcement. What we would encourage to do is to try and reduce the access to the triggers of such behaviors as much as possible. For example, the labels of daily used bottles could be teared off or covered with a blank sheet of paper to prevent her from stimming on the words.
We would also encourage to look for replacement behaviors that your child can engage in. For example, instead of laughing while reading the labels on the used bottles, reading and laughing because of a funny story in a book would be a more appropriate behavior. Teaching appropriate ways to play with other toys would also help to redirect her attention and reduce opportunities for the stimming behavior.
We hope you find this helpful. Please feel free to watch our Managing Challenging Behaviors 5-part series on RUclips for more information. Thank you!
@@autismmalaysia thank you so much for your valuable suggestions ..
You're welcome!
Hello, i have been watching your videos from couple of days now and trying everything i can with my child, today iam in desperate need of your help. My 3 year old has many self stimulatory behaviours , one of them is swinging his body on bed, sofa even now on carpet floor. What would be his sensory need ? Can you please help
Hi RZ, thank you for your comment.
Based on your explanation, your 3-year old could be seeking out for various sensorial needs such as visual stimulation (for example, he may like the sight of how things move when he is swinging), or tactile sensorial need (such as seeking out the textures of different types of materials). However, we would need to understand your child more to provide a more detailed explanation.
With self-stimulatory behaviors, it reinforces the child to keep engaging in the behavior as the behavior itself is an automatic reinforcement. We would encourage to look for replacement behaviors that your child can engage in. For example, instead of swinging on the sofa, bed or carpet, he could swing on a proper swing on the playground which would be a more appropriate behavior. Teaching appropriate ways to play with other toys would also help to redirect him/her attention and reduce opportunities for the self-stimulatory behavior.
We hope you find this helpful. Please feel free to watch our Managing Challenging Behaviors series on RUclips (ruclips.net/video/gZqV6bf8W58/видео.html) for more information on how to manage your child's self-stimulatory behaviors. Thank you!
