Suggest treatment for abnormal behavior with mental retardation
human
We had a 35 year old consumer diagnosed with progound mental retardation, seizure disorder, cerebral palsy and Angelman s Syndrome. If left to her own she will tear and chew all cloth like material including her diaper. If we keep items in her hands this tends to lesson the chewing but she is now dropping these items and attempting to tear and chew her clothing. We are looking for suggestions of how to handle her chewing behaviors.
