calming stratagies

danij88
hi i am looking for a little advice. My daughter has recently been diagnoised with aspergers. The main thing i seem to be struggling with at the moment is 'meltdowns' and how to help my daughter unwind and settle. today i took her to the libary and she had a HUGE meltdown out of anger she began to start pushing the foot stools around i noticed this began to calm her after five mins she was ok! so i am starting to think she will benefit from pressure/force?? anyone have ideas how i can implement this in others ways as moveing furniture wont always be practical! lol many thanks danielle

  • Hi - how old is your daughter?  Sometimes it can be difficult to work out the cause(s) of a meltdown.  If you can, tho, then it's possible to avoid some of them by planning in advance to try to avoid triggers.  Have you had an OT assessment of your daughter?  That cd be helpful in deciding what may be useful to help her when she's upset or before she gets upset (which is better, of course).  I know I may be totally off the mark here, but she wasn't upset about the stools in some waly + once she'd rearranged them she felt better??
