You may need to focus on family/caregiver education on the long term effects of
this individual's behaviors. Hopefully, they will buy into a behavior type of
program to help demish the out of controll behaviors.
I have worked in simular settings and have seen many families in denial,
which soo impacts treatment.
Also, the SPL might be very helpful.
Good Luck
Peace, Pat

Unfortunately this is an outpatient setting, so multidisciplinary means OT, ST
and PT. The other problem for this young fellow is poor carryover by his family
and caregivers. He also gets a lot of encouragement from peers as they feel his
behavior is funny. It does prevent any meaningful level of interaction though.

Hello Jimmy:
I don't have any significant experience with your setting. However,
having worked with several patients with similar behavior I think the
best approach you can offer is a multi-disciplinary approach to
behavior management. Setting up a (+) reinforcement system that is
both fair and consistently applied MAY go a long way in helping this
man re-establish some self-control.
Keep us informed.
Ron
