Re: Counseling Children with Behavior Disorder

Hi. I am a special education teacher. I work with children who have conduct disorders and speech delays. Usually, I reccommend a small class setting for the children with conduct disorders and use positive and negative reinforcement, modeling and cuing to help change behavior. If these techniques do not work, i try to identify the symptomatic behavior and do research myself or reccomend neurological and psychological testin. There are some cases where these things do not work.

I am reluctant as are many parents to put their kids onn drugs...
'
1. what do you think of nutritional intervention techniques
2. Do they work with add? How often? Can you site studies or refer me to books?
3. Do they work with children with "PDD" and/or conduct disorders?
4. What are some of the medications post Ritalin?

Also, what do you think about the bio-chemical factors involved in the eating disorder Anorexia ? HAve you studied bio-chemical research theories or therapies for it?

I'd be thrilled if you could respond to it's entirity.
Thanking you in advance

Alisa
