I have an 11 year olld daughter who has an Acquired Brain Injury. (will not go into details). This makes her very agressive and will attack without being provoked. (will not go into details)
I have done PPP but I am looking for other solutions as PPP is to confusing and she cannot understand as she has poor comprehensive thinking skills.

You may need to see a therapist who specializes in these cases. They should be able to tell you just how to help her, as ABI can make kids very sensitive. Every child is different, so they will need to get to know her.

I would go to a nureopsychologist, some one who knows how to deal with a child with severe brain injury. If you don't' know one I would go to the pediatrician that takes care of her and ask for a reference and set up an appointment as soon as possible. You should also ask her teachers how they deal with the situation in school. They should be able to help you. But the first thing that I would do is to find someone who has experience dealing with people with brain injuries and getting them to help you set up a schedule so that things are done the same way and at the same time each day that would make it easier for her to understand what was happening and it might cut down on her outbursts. It helped my mother deal with my brother in the 60's and they didn't' know much about brain injuries back than. Good luck

This is to hard of a question to answer here. Any behavioural plan needs to be tailored to the child and their behaviours. I would suggest looking for someone who does family outreach work. They are trained in helping parents set up these sort of systems. You can also consult with their school and find out what they suggest.

this is so hard. i don't know the specifics of you daughter but working at a special ed school we were always taught is to try and prevent the behavior from evening happening. if a behavior does happen look at the location and circumstances of whats going on for prevention of an ongoing behavior and so the circumstances don't come up again. you know this is so tough. i'm sorry and sympothize with you. i hope i was able to help even if it was minuscule. good luck

That sounds like a question for doctors to answer. I know you're looking for advice but in your situation...someone would need to know the details in order to advise you in the best way to deal with her and these outbursts. Different levels of brain injury require different angles. What works for someone else may not work for her. Someone in a professional field would need to figure out HOW she thinks and learns before they could figure out the best way to deal with it. Best of luck! It sounds like you have a long road ahead of you.

Use rewards as a reinforcement. If your child behaves then increase the doling out of rewards. If the child misbehaves you administer less rewards.
