Good, good, good. It is at this point the behavioral consultant, preferablly a
BCBA (see directory at www.bacb.com ) is most helpful. The program really needs
to be talyored to produce his seeing the need to improve his own behavior- you
are providing the motivation for him to say "hey need to clean up my act".

I am doing some work in the DE prison system and this is the tough point,
ensuring that the programs can produce motivation for these types of changes.

this explicit and a reward system and consequences fo misbehavior need to be
clearly spelled out...

If his behaviors are interfering with school then you should be able to document
his needs.

for help in the state of pa? , when after a child turns 14 you can not force
them to see medical help or counseling for there behavior problems , I think
this is pretty bad, when all we want to do is keep them from ending up in the
prizon system and make the right desitions for there selfs and respect others. I
aim pulling my hair out , please if anyone can help with sugestions.I believe
that untill a child is 18 we as parents should have the say in getting them
treatment. I aim tempted to contact the state reprasentative.
