If you live any where close to Cedar Hill (20 miles south of Dallas)

Oak Tree Academy would probably be open to this. They teach ABEKA

curriculm up through Pre K. They also have a private Kindergarten

class.

Hi Tocaiya (a Spanish word for people who have the same names. . .)

I've had really good luck with preschools accepting shadow for my son.

Both of them said yes. And another one that I asked but ended up

not sending my son to also said yes. Perhaps one of the reasons is that

they were

shadows from a clinic (The Shape of Behavior), and so didn't seem

so much like my spy in the classroom.

I do have to

say that it was/is very difficult for the teachers to work with a

shadow in the sense that they would treat the shadow like he was

the child's teacher, and not really act like the shadow wasn't

there, and not really address or teach the child directly.

Working out the exact roles really took a long time for the teachers.

It also took a while to even understand the concept.

Also, if it's

your own hired shadow, you have to made sure that the person

has A LOT of experience because being a decent shadow probably

ranks right up there as one of the more difficult therapy roles

to do well. There are so many factors to balance that only a

really experienced therapist should attempt it. Also, the parent

has to remain very involved to make sure that everyone is

talking to each other.

If you're considering sending a shadow, try to have both the

teacher and the shadow attend the 123's workshop that the

TexABA-SIG is putting on October 23. Actually it's great for

parents to who often end up acting as shadows for their

kids at playdates etc. It will be at the UH campus.

Are there are pre-school that's willing

to allow a shadow

Dear List:

I'm new to the area. I called several private pre-school and tried

to persuade them to allow me send in a shadow with my child. Haven't

been success so far. They either don't understand what I mean or

just don't want to do that.

Is there any parents know such a pre-school that allows a shadow?

Please let me know. Any information would be helpful since I knows

nothing about this area especially about the autism related resource.
