my 2 yr. old son has a speach delay as well as behavioral issues. He's in the project child program for about 6 months,& is doing great with his speach delay, although his behavior issues are still a problem. I've had issues with his aggressiveness scince he was 10 mths. to a year old. It started out as bitting, grabbing people, screaming, & head butting. I could see the anger in his face,it was a very difficult time for me being I didn't know how to deal with my child where I seeked medication. He is now 2 1/2 (I am no longer on medication & dealing better) still having aggresive behavior(he also has very loving moments. All his emotions are extream.). Recentaly he is on a "probation period" at the child care center at my gym for putting his hands around another boys neck for standing in front of the TV, & another incedant where a child took a toy away from my child & an aid tried to intervine when my son bit her.I have seeked help from project child & had sugestions from a professional to try the fuctional behavioral assessment with an OT,as well as trying an acupuncturist.
he is getting better scince I've been using a reward system at home,but I fear that he may have an imbalanceof some sort, & if I can't find a way to help him now the problem will just get worst when he gets older.
I am hoping you could give me a better understanding as to how to handle my son's behavior as well as what kind of professional help I should seek.
