I just recently tried out a behavior chart, and it has improved quiet a bit in the last two weeks. It gives her a visual of each behavior and what I expect(use a bright color poster board). For each expectation reached she gets to put a sticker on the chart each evening after dinner and then she gets a prize. We started out with just reaching a few and we are now working on more stickers for each prize.

I like a simple program called 123 Magic by Dr. Phelan. I have all the video tapes. He talks alot about ADHD kids, but it has also been good for many of my PDD kids. I dont know at all what your daughter is like so I may be way off, but I thought I would mention it.

The absolute BEST thing I've ever read is "The Explosive Child" by Dr. Ross Greene. I not overly fond of the title, and you may want to use a book cover if you read it around your child, but the strategies are excellent!! The idea is to use collaborative problem solving. I recommend having the therapist read the book, as well. It made a HUGE difference in our daughter's behaviors, and we get along much better now. She's 16, so that's saying a lot ;-) Her teachers love her, and she's doing beautifully in school, and she has friends. I can't promise all that will happen from the book, but I know she never would have stood a snowball's chance at any of this without it!

Do you have confidence in your therapist? I find it odd that she would be "out of ideas."
