You may also want to check out the
Applied Behavior Analysis page
that provides information about interventions and help for children with developmental disorders.
Specific behavior intervention plans and strategies are listed below for you to click on and find out more information. More pages will be added over time as I am able to complete them. The following information only focuses on proactive positive behavior supports as I believe these to be the most important part of any behavior intervention plan.

If you are looking for ideas of different consequences for your child's behavior, I have found the following books to provide the best ideas in this area. Love and Logic parenting books teach how and what consequences to provide for a child that help him/her to think about what he/she has done and learn from every mistake.
The first book is for children aged birth-6 yrs of age, the second book is 6-12 yrs and the third is for dealing with teenagers. They also have additional books that may be helpful as well.
