Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Peggy, If the soap hasn't solidified in the mold, you might try pouring it back in the bucket and adding the additional lye mixed in the additional water. Mix again and repour..... If it's solid already...then I guess the best bet would be rebatching. But I can't help you there....I'm rebatching impaired!! ....and I don't know if you can add lye when you rebatch..... Help!!! Don`t even ask me how but I screwed up the numbers on a batch of soap and I have too little lye and too little water! Can I fix this or do I have to trash it?!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hi Sara, I know this was a big mistake when teachers in the past use to restrain and give time out. All this was a reward wish of course was part of why his behavior never progressed well. This is included on his IEP no restrain or time out. He just loved this comfort zone and loved to be alone and what did he learn out of this? Act out and wa-lah, bingo get restrained because he hated being forced to do something and could not adjust to the environment sometimes enjoyed that crave needed for deep pressure when it was male assisting for that strong hold and then the time out, what a relief for him. Act out and get away from doing what was planned out on his daily schedule. I have to go for now maybe in the mean time others can post some activites and if I get a chance I'll include some too. I've been working on this and at school to enhance some of his language skills along with this issue. Is the student verbal or nonverbal? Does he act out? Besides the radio and playing ball what other things does he like? These 2 things that you mention could be use for reinforcement. Is he toilet-trained? Does he have favorite snacks? Does he give any eye contact? This will help others here to get an idea of what might help. Questions I had asked could probably include the self-help skills with some activites involved so that he could adapt to them. Hope I made some sense? Better get. Later.

I agree with Irma about restraint that some may like it. But on the other hand can you think how the person being restrained must feel, so helpless. Some years ago the female staff working with our son said they wouldn't restrain him as he was so strong at 4'6 " and 130#. They just let him cool down on his own. A couple times this past year he has been restrained physically by a male staff and we know from past staff reports that gets madder when constrained. But, we aren't there to see how they handle the situation in the first place. We are working on those areas. Luckily it hasn't happened often. Isn't it interesting when Irma had this put in her son's IEP that he wasn't to be restrained that they found other ways to help him when he acted out?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hi Sara, I checked with a friend who is an expert on autism and this was her reply. " My advice to her is to immediately ask for a full team meeting ASAP and bring her concerns to everyone. If she is not being given direction by the teacher, it is probably because the teacher does not know what to do. That is why every child has a professional TEAM: to have multiple heads to put together and devise solutions. She has a right to meet with everyone on the team. She may want to start with a formal meeting with the teacher and principal or other supportive person in the school. It is not right to just go on that same way day after day without advocating on behalf of the child. She should be empowered to take appropriate, professional action. No one can tell her over the internet what to do with this particular child in this particular situation with only a tiny bit of information. She needs to convene the team. " You may not feel comfortable to ask for the above but watch for the right time and express your concerns. It looks like you have been doing one of the first things and that is observation. The next to collect data of who, what, when, where, and what, write down what you see. What happens before, during and after the behaviors you would like to change. Because you are with him all the time you are going to be the most important part of this team to let others know what is happening with this boy. Have you talked to his mother about what works and how she does things with him? Parents are your best resource also. Two sources I found were the back issues of Disability Solutions which can be found at <A HREF= " www.disabilitysolutions.org " >www.disabilitysolutions.org</A> . The other site is <A HREF= " www.nau.edu/ihd/positive/ " > www.nau.edu/ihd/positive/</A>. Here you can find a paper on " Positive Behavior Support An Overview of Positive Behavior Support. " One other site is the Adult Down Syndrome Center site at <A HREF= " www.advocatehealth.com/adultdown/pulbications.html " >www.advocatehealth.com\ /adultdown/pulbications.html</A>. There are several articles at this site others may find interesting also, especially the one on " The Groove. " In it Dr. McGuire explains how they have found that the people with DS need sameness, repetition and order in their lives. Lastly a book you can order through interlibrary loan at your local library is Solving Behavior Problems in Autism -- Improving Communication with Visual Strategies by A. Hodgdon, M.ED., CCC-SLP, Quirk Publication. Sure you will get some ideas in reading this book. This boy is very lucky to have you there to help him. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Good thoughts Irma. It is hard for me to think the school mode I have been in the adult mode so long. Sometimes we think certain services are in place when maybe they are not like the speech and language or OT for sensory integration. I am excited about an upcoming Oct. 14 ARC of IL conference where Hodgdon who wrote the Visual and Behavior books will be a speaker. Another speaker will be Carol Stock Kranowitz, MA, authored The Out of Sync Child. Also a couple others, Bondy Ph. D. who co-authored PECS and , Ph. D. Looks like they are covering all areas. I've passed on brochures to three people at 's agency so hope someone goes. Of course my husband Andy always says, as I drag him along to conferences, that he is not the person who should be attending but the direct care staff who work directly with . I agree the staff should be going, we do keep trying. Irma glad you have been successful in getting people to go and as you say they feel so much better and feel they can accomplish something after learning how to do or handle things. Great some want to be teachers or related professions. Louise in IL Mom of 41 DS, etc., and newly diagnosed with autism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hi Sara, I agree with Louise that the student is very lucky to have you. After I what I wrote and I was on the road I had realized that I had forgotten to ask if the parents have had a meeting with the teacher and any autism team to discuss the concern issues. I would hate for you to get in any trouble by stepping on certain toes. I personally enjoy reading how you are willing to help even if its your job, you care, you're a very special person in my book. Make sure you keep tabs of autism conference, workshops any autism service available though the school or the community that maybe the school could pay for you to attend to some of them. Most para-professionals whom I know that have worked or working with my son are attending due to parents request and written on the IEP Goal. That all staff working with my son needs autism training. Now, that some of the aides are attending they come back motivated and love their job more and their students and wanting to continue to get educated so that they could one day become a special ed teacher. One of them has become one and she just loves her job. This is always brings a smile to my face when I receive a call so that they can thank me personally as my challenging son have opened doors towards helping many other students and many parents are willing to listen and procede with in-home parent training, this is something else that the parents need to apply on the IEP in-home parent-training. On what you wrote about this young man, this sounds like my son back when he was about 12 y/o, but not toilet trained at all. When you bring this up to the teacher maybe there is a way you could bring up having a sensory assessment done. Sounds like a lot of sensory issues also triggering his behavior as he gets overstimulated and needs that guidance to work around it. This is where the autism team could assist. What Louise wrote, excellent advice and the suggestions on the books. In the mean time while you're in the look out on any books that Louise had mentioned which I also recommend as I have them too. There is also one online that you could review http://www.nap.edu/books/0309072697/html/ Educating Children with Autism Chapter 11 Instructional Strategies A little recap on the time-out: A functional assessment process should help determine the reason that time-out is failing. As an example, if the student is displaying inappropriate behavior in order to escape or avoid a task, time-out could be serving as a reinforcer. If time-out is reinforcing to the student, the inappropriate behavior will only increase. You will see that time-out is a procedure that denies the student access to the opportunity to receive reinforcement. If the time-in environment is not reinforcing to the student, time-out will not be effective. I yak yak so much sometimes that when I proof read I hope I made some sense. You also mentioned that the student has limited communication skills. I'm assuming that he is receiving speech/language services. I would ask the speech/language pathologist to work with the student's teacher regarding his communication skills in the classroom. Many times, children will act out because they lack the skills to appropriately communicate their frustrations, etc. Teaching the student how to get the teacher's attention or how to ask for help when needed may help reduce the acting out behavior. I hope something helps, let us know.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 SAra: Why don't you download the last two issues of " Disability Solutions " for some ideas? (www.disabilitysoutions.org/news.htm). They are volume 5 issues 4 and 5. I think, first of all, your student is the victim of extremely low expectations and lack of effective intervention. Second, " controlling " him isn't conducive to learning. No child likes to be " controlled " (this is in reference to the restraints). Your student needs to be able to make sense of the environment around him. He needs some visual tools to do that. When he won't go in a room, or has a sit down strike, it is likely that he doesn't understand why he should go in there--or that going in there isn't pleasant. Do you use visuals (photos or symbols) to let him know where you are gonig and what you will do there? All of this is explained in those two issues of the newsletter along with some examples. I would say the first place to start is to give this student some transition schedules and some way to communicate what he wants that is more universally understood than his gestural communication. But he *is* communicating!! To find out what his most consistent messsages to you are, take a closer look at when he hits, spits, and laughs. What is going on just before, and what happens just after? Does he get more attention--even if it is negative attention? Was he trying to get someone's attention? Is he trying to get an object? Is he trying to interact? IT's tough to begin to see these things as communication rather than " behavior, " but that's exactly what you have to do in order to figure out how to meet his needs. Just a few cents worth... Joan At 07:08 PM 9/14/2003 -0700, you wrote: >Thank you for the reply.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hi Sara, That is great news that everyone is coming around with you behind this will encourage some brainstorming ideas together. Oh my! I kinda feel awful reading about the child not receiving any speech or language services. At the age of 14 y/o, what a shame and this upsets me that the student was denied this or it was not applied. No matter what type of teaching skills this should always be applied for communication skills. My son was totally non-verbal when he was younger. He had some one word phrase especially when he wanted something with pointing or gestures and of course I did not understand him but speech therapy was applied so that his brain could process it. Visual supports has been a Godsend. Sign language was included and music & play therapy. Just anything. Thank God, that you were the chosen one to be there for him. I know you have a book to read on but still do not hesitate on asking any info from this list as its still good to hear any input of trials and errors. Learning about the autism world is so overwhelming with alot of information and still to this day no matter how many books I've read. I still need to hear from everybody's experiences or ideas. I guess one of the main concern issue that needs to be addressed for your student would be for him to feel comfortable and adapting in listening, giving some type of eye contact " look at me " just so that he understands that someone is willing to be there for him and once he feels he is in a comfort zone that is when you can apply the other areas needed. This is what happened with my son once he had started ABA or discrete trials this summer and the therapist wanted to concentrate first on pairing with reinforcers getting use to working with her by getting him to make some eye contact & sit and of course my son kept saying " no, no, no! " , trying to escape. Once he gave eye contact then he was rewarded " good looking " he was reinforce with his favorite stimming item. Second session he gave eye contact when the session had begun by starting off with the " Look at me " promting to the chair or floor, then it was still getting him to sit, but " no, no, no! " , he yelled. The therapist has him now sitting by manding,prompting etc. and of course rewarded " good job sitting " and then given his stimming item. This could also be applied slowly like the floor therapy depending what or how you would like for your student to learn to sit down face to face on the chair across from you or on the floor. Starting out with several favorites items to use for reinforcement. If he is yelling, screaming, no eye contact its still considered a form of intentional communication. So its trying to shape the communication into more useful and appropriate forms. Example, even while the student is trying to escape from the chair, firmly place the child back in the chair. No matter how many times in a row, holding a reinforcer at eye level putting the other hand under students chin to lift his chin up and trying to get him to look at you by saying those words " look at me. " A person doing this must have a heart and be calm in order for it to work. Within time my son's behavior have subsided and to this day it has become a structured routine. Just wanted to share this to kinda of give you an idea what is working for my son. I do know every individual are unique in there own way but sometimes you never know and things could be applied or modified around the child's skill levels. Once your students behavior has cut down, then other structure activities could be applied. As for the OT this could be worked down the road if it needs to be addressed but in the mean time it will not hurt to inquire information on the sensory issues just to understand why a particular behavior is kicking in on your own than once you get to know the student this is where you could bring it up to the parents of what you've been working on so that they could apply it towards his IEP goals. The main areas I do see that need to be addressed are his behavior skills, self-help skills, & communication skills. A little tip when speech therapy is applied and written on the IEP goals for ST never have one held on a Monday as most holidays fall on that day. Hope to hear some good news down the road.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi Mia, My 2 favorite oblique (love handle) exercises are the side stretch and the an oblique twist. Try doing these the next few days and see if they help. The side stretch is the one that is on the BF tape. I do the LL breath and while I'm holding my breath I reach my right arm up and over my head reaching towards the opposite side for a good stretch. Don't forget to do the other side. I usually do 5 on ea. side. When I 1st started doing breathing exercises I lost first in the sides of my waist because of this exercise. The other one that I like is done while laying on my back with one knee bent with that foot flat on the floor. The other knee is crossed over that one like a man crosses his leg. I do the breathing and while I'm holding my breath I reach the hand on the bent knee side over putting it on the crossed knee and hold while I'm holding my breath for as long as possible. I do 5 of these on each side. Do these make any sense? I always worry that I don't explain them very well. It would be much easier if you just came over to my house and I showed you in person. :-) If you don't understand my explanation please ask me again and I'll try and do a better job.

Don't forget to do the other side. I usually do 5 on ea. side. When I 1st started doing breathing exercises I lost first in the sides of my waist because of this exercise. The other one that I like is done while laying on my back with one knee bent with that foot flat on the floor. The other knee is crossed over that one like a man crosses his leg. I do the breathing and while I'm holding my breath I reach the hand on the bent knee side over putting it on the crossed knee and hold while I'm holding my breath for as long as possible. I do 5 of these on each side. Do these make any sense? I always worry that I don't explain them very well. It would be much easier if you just came over to my house and I showed you in person. :-) If you don't understand my explanation please ask me again and I'll try and do a better job.
