  Case: Refusing help
I work in a virtual school in a special education classroom for students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities. I deal with my parents on a daily basis. I have a student with Autism who has aggressive behaviors. The mom is getting hit, bit, and hair pulled on a daily basis. The school has offered ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Therapy to help reduce the students behavior; however, the parent has refused. What else can you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
With this parent I would take it slow and use indirect approaches. Even though I know it hard to explain to her you are trying to help we also have to accept the limits we can go. Maybe call the parent in and see what concerns her. She probably wants to help her child but doesn't want to label her child or feels overwhelmed.

Comments: Using indirect approaches to suggested the therapy is a good idea. Many parents of autistic children can be too overwhelmed to think outside the box and try to handle everything one day at a time. Taking it slow is the best approach.
