discipline in school

shonaghmg

Hi all

Can anyone help me with ideas of what discipline works in school for a child with autism?

My son is 10 and the system his school uses is a star system.  They start with 5 at the beginning of the week and if they keep all they get golden time on a Thursday. They lose certain amount of time when they lose a star and if so many are lost they don't get golden time. He understands at the time but by the time Thursday comes round he has forgotten what is was over and gets stressed out.  

At home i use a system if he does wrong he gets his favourite thing taken away for that day/evening so he is punished there and then.

Any info much appreciated.

Thanks, Shonagh

    Thank you very much for your reply, the system you used for the boy you taught is something similiar to what i now have got the school to put in place.  He started it properly this past Friday and it worked very well.  We seem to maybe be makin head way there.  This 1:1 keyworker, do the school employ that person or is it something that i would have to look in to?  I do feel my son needs someone 1:1 to rebuild his confidence again.  He has support teachers to help him with certain aspects of his work and can work quite happily with minimal help but i feel it is the reassurance he needs to say "u can do it" sort of idea.
