\n

Sometimes, the best way to prevent problem behavior with children with autism is to simply avoid specific situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid Specific Situations:<\/h3>\n

Many moms will tell you that they limit trips to places that involve waiting in line.\u00a0 Similarly, others avoid restaurants or specific places that trigger their child with ASD.<\/span>\u00a0Unstructured activities, novel events, and group gatherings are situations that can be avoided as well.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Avoid Specific People (For Specific Tasks)<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Sometimes specific people are antecedents for the problem behavior. For example, a child may do his homework beautifully with Mom but give Dad a hard time.\u00a0 You may also notice specific friends cause your child on the spectrum to have difficulty playing appropriately<\/a>.Other examples of people that trigger a child with ASD may include a doctor, dentist etc. Social stories can help calm your child down before visiting the doctor\/dentist office.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Avoid Specific Settings<\/h3>\n
\n
Some children don’t react well in places with loud music. As a result, parents may choose to avoid these places or have their children wear voice canceling headphones.<\/a> Another option to help with this sensory issue, some parents use desensitization techniques. This involves slowly getting your child used to the loud noises.\u00a0 <\/span>Haircuts, visiting old people or academic situations can likewise serve as triggers. In addition, baseball games and large crowds can cause your child anxiety. Avoiding such situations when possible is a good idea.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Keep in mind<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
Keep in mind. Don’t always avoid these situations. This is just a technique to help prevent intense problem behavior. Your BCBA will work with your child to overcome these behaviors. As your child progresses in therapy, you will begin to see a difference. We will focus on building your child’s skill deficit. This is just a prevention strategy!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
