  1. A Therapeutic School for Troubled Youth Most people agree that teenagers of this generation deal with more daily activities, entertainment, and worries compared to those in the past. With technological advancements at their behest, they enjoy many things their parents didn't. However, this wide range of choices and overwhelming stimuli also has an effect on them; their emotional and psychological aspects of growth are often compromised. Fortunately, research and developments on educational, medical, and clinical institutions help troubled teens find a shelter in boarding schools designed especially for them. Boarding schools for struggling teens accept students with various forms and manifestations of developmental, educational, and psychological issues. They help those with autism spectrum disorders, adoption issues, anxiety, as well as oppositional, bipolar, residential treatment center and borderline personality disorders. Such boarding schools also deal with students with post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse issues, and depression, impulse control, and

Therapeutic schools for troubled teens have a variety of clinical services to handle different teen issues. They refer to modern treatment modalities to help each student have a higher functioning level, diminish symptoms and manifestations, and help them become productive family and community members. These modalities include behavior, group,autism school and family therapy, each with its own features and advantages that suit a student's needs. A multi-disciplinary team includes therapists, teachers, and psychiatrists who coordinate structured treatment programs for a student's specific needs and preferences. These experts assess a teen's capabilities and current levels of achievement using standardized tests used by licensed professionals in the industry. Aside from individual treatments, a school for troubled youth also employs group therapies that allow students to interact with fellow teens. Schools for troubled teens also develop and provide programs for teens with clinical cases such as Asperger Syndrome. Their team of knowledgeable experts refers to the Diagnostics and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV-TR) for the symptoms,Aspergers boarding school and criteria to determine if your child has the condition. A leading Aspergers school can effectively deal with your teen's needs while also allowing them to function normally at school.

  3. Discipline And The Child On The Autism Spectrum Discipline is just a way to teach children to act in a social acceptable way and to instill the ethics and morals that parents want their child to have. Without the discipline and the teaching of discipline, a child from birth would develop as his environment allowed. The "spoiled brat" is often thought to be a child whose parents did not love him/her enough to use discipline. Discipline is love, and it allows children to learn how to become productive and appropriate adults in the future. Children with developmental, processing, or learning disabilities must learn through the process of discipline and life lessons on how to behave in society just as any other child would. Many use the terms ABA or Behavior Modification, but to me they are just discipline,autism boarding school and being a parent. Discipline is the job parents like the least that is necessary for our children. If your child/teen at ten has the mature or mental age of a five year old, then discipline should be age appropriate as activities that the child can and will tolerate.

  4. Discipline must be appropriate. When a two year old is about to touch a burning fire, a quick slap of the hand to stop him may be appropriate or a slight slap on the behind. At this moment for the toddler stops the behavior that would bring them harm. For that is what discipline is about safety and teaching behavior to allow a child to grow up into a safe along with productive adult. Spanking as a form of punishment is not acceptable behavior and other forms of behavior modification should be used that are age appropriate. If your seven year old destroys a toy, then the punishment is to not replace the toy. The seven year old will then learn the life lesson: if he does not take care of his toy, he will not have a toy. If a teenager has a party while parents are away,and the home is wrecked, they will be responsible for replacing those things. A spanking can not teach the lessons and can never be appropriate. Punishment needs to teach a life lesson, so the child understands the consequences of their action. A slap on the hand to the toddler is only a way to keep the child safe for that moment and gives the child no lesson on why they should stay away from the fire. A parent can not let the toddler get burned and find out why-they need to keep the toddler safe so the slap on the hand or behind serves the purpose. Children with disabilities need to learn life lessons with discipline. A parent needs to keep the child safe and to teach them how to act in society. Much time with Aspergers I hear: well he is just blunt,autism program for teens and that is the way he handles his world. This may be fine behavior for his world; when out in public it is not the child's with Aspergers' world, it is everyone world. I am overweight, and I know that I am. Anyone who looks at me can see that I need to lose weight. Still I would be very offended if a child with Aspergers because he is blunt, and I did not know him nor his parents, came up to me and said "your fat why." It is a logical question, but not a question that an adult woman would not want a stranger asking. I would consider this rude. I would consider this person to be a bully, and his behavior would hurt me. Many would consider me to not be "autism aware or tolerant." And, I ask you: why should I have to be tolerate of this behavior from someone I do not know, who bullies me about a flaw I have?

  5. The child with Aspergers needs to learn the lesson that they can not just say what they want to others. This lesson may take time to learn and with an apology from the child's parents, I can let the incident pass. The child with Aspergers to function in our society in our society needs to learn how to: keep their thoughts to themselves to function in society without hurting others. This child needs to learn not to be a bully, and it will be the job of the parent to reinforce the consequences. With a child with Aspergers, this will take patience and time. The parents could start by explaining to the child why he can not call someone fat when he first meets them,residential treatment center and why this is bully behavior. Use an incident when a child with Aspergers was hurt by a bully. Then make the child apologize to me directly. After enough times and the building of empathy relating this when the Aspergers child being bullied, he will begin to understand that not all thoughts and observations should be said out loud. A life lesson learned through discipline to correct the behavior that is part of Aspergers, but needs to be retrained to be socially appropriate and not offend people to become socially acceptable.
