has some teething type sensory products that you may find useful. According

to my son's OT, some children have a need to chew, bite at different times for

different reasons. These may provide what he needs, at home anyways.

The problem that has manifested lately is his chewing on shirts. He is

just tearing the collar right out of them not even realizing it until

it is done. I know he can't help it, but it is quite frustrating

watching all his clothes get tore up and it is frustrating for him

because he can't stop. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This would probably be more useful -- if you scroll through, there are lots of

different appropriate things they have for children to chew/bite on instead of

the clothing.

Good luck

lok into the georgia virtual academy. its a public online state school. so you

could technically get him in it for next year, get an iep with them and then

qualify the following for the sb10 voucher money.

> I completely forgot about this group...just happened to look at Yahoo

mail..anyways. My son was diagnosed with Asperger's last year. He is thirteen

and it has been about a year and a half that he hasn't been in school. I'm so

lost and feeling hopeless. The latest IEP has him in a self-contained classroom

in Cobb County that houses aprox. 5-7 students. These students, when we

visited, are far lower in level than my son. He is very sensitive to feeling

" dumb " as he is always placed in rooms with extremely troubled students. This

particular class has a couple of boys that make strange noises, etc. I knew my

son would not try it. The teacher is nice and willing to help, but I can't get

my son to go. They do not have a place for my son. I'm a single school teacher

and can't afford private school. I can't qualify for the vouchers because he

wasn't on the counts for the fall and most likely not this month. They say they

just don't have a room for Asperger's. He is so far behind that I don't know

where to turn. I can't physically drag him...he is 5'11 " !! He is a bright

young man that just can't do the public school traditional setting. I get

frustrated when I see that those with money can do so much more...I feel guilty

that I have to leave my son at home. I try my best but he needs a teacher. Are

there those that come to the home and teach on a daily basis? Any suggestions

and please don't tell me to contact the special ed heads of the school system.

I've been that route. Help.
