I agree with using sign language and are you documenting all the incidents of him biting and hitting not only others but himself as well? I would just to make sure you are covered in case he bangs his head hard enough to cause an injury, id also make a copy for the parents each time he had these behaviors so they couldnt say they werent aware of them, had he had his hearing checked? I also like the two bites in one day and your gone for the day policy, i think id also have it to wear if it happens more than 3 times in a week that they will be put on probation or terminated, forme it would depend on what and how the parents were doing to help the situation. For now i would put him in time out (playpen?) away from the other kids telling him that he cant hit or bite and be mean or he wont be able to play, maybe after being excluded from playing with the others he will stop?
