It’s stressful, overwhelming, depletes energy, and makes the person anxious, irritable and grumpy.

A tantrum generally is for 4 reasons:

1. Wanting something
2.  Escaping from something
3.  Attention seeking
4.  Frustration

Below 3 years old, do not use communicative devices and focus on teaching communication and play.

Between 3 - 4 years old - you CAN start introducing communication devices as a supplement to teach prelinguistic skills. Only use this if your child is non-verbal and at your therapist’s discretion.

4 years old and up, sit down and decide whether communication devices can be a long-term solution. It depends on what your child’s speech abilities are. Moreover, you have to be 100% on board with using the device at home. The child’s feelings need to be addressed as well, because it will make him/her look different at school. Make sure everyone is on the same page before implementing.
