You have to determine what is behavior and what is disability.
Treat the child as typically developing so general outbursts can be ignored like shouting and crying but severe inappropriate behaviors should not be ignored.
You reinforce negative behaviors
Any attention paid to negative attention maintained behaviors will lead to its Continued existence. This includes saying “No”, “We don’t do that”, and “Stop that!” Energy flows when attention goes so be careful with this aspect and ignore those actions.
Pick one battle at a time.
Trying to fight every battle at once is just like going to the gym and working out for three hours straight. You’re going to hurt. What happens is you take on too much and you end up stopping all interventions. It is important to choose our battles so that we save time and energy in the process.
Paralysis by analysis
Don’t overanalyze, but instead make small steady progress each day Some families want immediate results, often concerned if there are any missteps and overanalyzing every action of a child. Some families are frozen meaning they are overwhelmed and just ignore or pacify the behavior hoping it goes away naturally. Too much analysis often leads to confusion, and it needs to be taken one at a time and then have a personalized approach.
