MemberHi Everyone,
I am seeking an idea on how to deal with my son's behaviour problem. He is five years old and has been in ABA therapy for two and half years and is doing very well. His language, his learning ability and play skills have all improved tremendously and most of his old behaviours have phased away except one. And this is his most troubling behaviour. He gets highly aggravated when there's an ovation/clapping of hands and when he's being applauded for a job well done.
We've tried to educate him and try to get him prepared for such events but he still seems completely helpless when this happens. He usually starts crying openly, abandon what he was doing, start kicking things and dragging his parents on there clothes. A few moments later he will become sober and say I am sorry. This most of the time is very embarrassing.
When in public places, if there's going to be a round of applause, we will say "get ready to clap your hands" this may calm him down a bit but will not stop him from crying. So most times we just take him out before that happens. We are very worried now because he is in school (kindergarten), and this is a 'no-no' in a school environment. The teachers have been informed about this behaviour, but the best thing is to find a way of stopping this.
Has any one had an experience like this and what can we do. Please help!!!. Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Experienced in-line therapists needed to join our great team. Our son is 5 years old with mild autism. The team is doing great but one of us will be leaving very soon and another taking fewer hours.
My son is a fun-loving boy, he has very good visual, spatial abilities and is a quick learner. He is verbal, has good attention span and is great at imitation. He also likes reading books.
The required therapists will take two or three shifts a week, one of them might be on the weekend. Shifts are generally 3 hours in length. A minimum of six months commitment is required due to extensive training. We also have team meetings every two weeks. Pay is negotiable depending on experience
Desirable candidates must be energetic, motivated, professional, patient, good with playing kids; some knowledge in related fields such as psychology, education, etc.; some experience working with young children. ABA experience is essential,although we will provide some training. Our consultant is Michelle Auton.
We leave in Burnaby near the mall and Sky train.
