I was paid to go out to do a 1-day evaluation and they were having trouble with him at preschool and he was about to be kicked out. I remember being in a preschool or daycare classroom with a little boy, I’ll call him Tommy. I think the prevalent use of time out is because people just don’t think that it is such a big deal, but it really is. It’s a punishment procedure and punishment is not usually allowed within public school settings, unless you have a full positive behavior support plan in place and someone highly skilled at the use of things like time out. Back when they were little I wasn’t a behavior analyst, but now that I am and have been a behavior analyst since 2003, I have used time out very, very rarely because time out, in my opinion, is very overused. I know with my two sons, I never used an official timeout procedure for Lucas and only less than a handful of times have I ever used time out for Spencer. But today I wanted to talk about time out since it is a very common procedure used by both parents and professionals with typically developing kids as well as kids with autism. I have a blog on what to do when your child gets kicked out or held back in preschool or daycare. I have lots of video blogs on problem behavior and hitting and those sorts of things.
