Tips for parents

• Do not stop behavior. It will help for the moment, change behavior, it will help for a lifetime
• Be very clear, about what behaviour is expected of your child and stay consistent with your response
• Rules must be laid down at the beginning and adhered by everyone, adults, and children alike. It is important to play good role models
• Make sure your expectations are reasonable. Accept your child's weaknesses and help him/her cope with it
• Keep simple schedule as multi-tasking or remembering too many instructions may be hard on your child
• Design the program so that your child experiences positives right at the start, then gradually increase the complexity
• Provide more feedbacks, visual and verbal
• Set short term rather than long term goals
