One of the most pressing question received from parents is “What should I do when my child becomes increasingly aggressive at school?”. Aggression often stems from unmet needs or a disconnect between a child’s capabilities and how they are perceived or treated. Nonverbal children frequently experience frustration when their inner intelligence and ideas cannot align with their outward expressions.
Dr. Libutti, in this video, talks about seeking solution in tools like Rapid Prompting Method (RPM), to empower these children and provide them with a voice. Beyond addressing aggression, it’s about recognizing the profound potential within nonverbal individuals. Dr. Libutti urges parents and educators to challenge assumptions, explore alternative communication methods, and focus on understanding the reasons behind behaviors. By doing so, we can foster not only calmer, happier children but also environments that celebrate their remarkable abilities.
