I'm sorry but withholding toilet paper till he says Dada is wildly inappropriate. The poor child has soiled himself on the toilet, clearly asked for paper as well as reaching for the toilet paper that he couldn't reach and Corey refused to hand it over and kept saying "say Dada say Dada"I have a low verbal 10 year son with autism. He has been in speech since age 2 and didn't say a word until 2 years ago. Treats/rewards ARE AND CAN BE offered in the early stages of communication to motivate the child. It does not make them an animal. In Corey's defense, he was probably doing what was told by the therapist. My son had no idea what anything meant and had over 10 different therapists. You have to keep your commands short and to the point so they do not get lost or until they understand. It's extremely difficult and emotional if you are the one living it. I did the same exact thing with potty training with m&ms.
All while filming it.
He did the same with the playdoh. Julian took him the playdoh to open. Corey again refused and kept saying "say Dada Julian say Dada Julian Julian" over and over and over again. Julian held the playdoh towards Corey and Corey refused to open it. Julian gets visibly distressed.
Again, he films it all.
Absolutely. Not. Fucking. Appropriate
This would not be endorsed by any speech therapist. You do NOT and I repeat DO NOT talk aggressively and film a child and reduce them tears.
