This is Dr. Zakreski responding to the above three questions. With regard to the charts and medication lists, I will ask Kelly Teabo of NJCTS to make those particular slides available so that anyone can download, print and use them.
with respect to the third question, regarding the use of Strattera and consequent anxiety/panic, yes; although it is an infrequent experience, this has occurred in some kids. You can talk to your child’s prescribing physician and ask him/her to make a change.

Tics are exacerbated in the presence of stress so anger and frustration would likely increase them. You have a bit of a trade-off situation. The use of charts would probably improve your son’s behavioral adjustment and self-control but the implementation of the chart, especially in the early stages when he might not achieve alot of success, could stress him. My advice would be to implement the chart but gear your ratings to be more positive at first; in this way you could ease him into success with the program. Once he has achieved some stability in his scores, you could gradually make your expectations more challenging. Using rewards at the end of the day is a great way to motivate a child. The ones on my chart (dessert, access to electronics, later bedtime, prizes/$) usually work pretty well. You know your child better than anyone; if you feel other rewards would motivate him more, use them. Glad you enjoyed the Webinar! Dr. Zakreski
