Set Clear Goals with the Autistic Child – In order to achieve self control with autism, we need to set clear goals with the child. This monitoring is a form of self-evaluation. When a child is in control, he or she may think more closely about behavior in the past and present.

The examples are an afternoon with no aggression towards others or a day at school with no self-injury. Every fifteen minutes ask the child how he or she is doing. Is the goal being met? If the answer is no, perhaps the child is not ready for self-management, or perhaps the goals are too unattainable.

I am sure you want to make sure that the goals are easy to reach at first, and then move the child towards more difficult goals in the future. When a child is successful at self-monitoring, he or she will have a more positive attitude towards the experience. We will discuss more about it in our next post.
