When Your Autistic Child Hits: Safety First

from Just Shae and Friends Hosted by Shae

Hitting can be one of the toughest moments to handle as a parent—especially when your child is autistic and struggling to communicate. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from ABA training and from my sister, who’s an RBT, about keeping yourself safe and helping your child find safer ways to express themselves. I haven’t experienced this personally with my son, but these tips can help you protect yourself, stay calm, and work with your child’s therapy team to address the behavior. Disclaimer: I am not a BCBA. Please consult your child’s therapy team for a plan specific to them.
