Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Laurie, Mic has autism, dah, the maladaptive behavior is part of his disability. I wouldn't get upset over this. What I would be asking the school staff was what are they going to do about it. How are they going to teach Mic in spite of the behaviors. Isn't Mic in a private school for students with autism? If he didn't have this disability he would be attending his neighborhood school, right. They are not reporting anything that you didn't already know. Truthfully, seeing it in black and white is hard for all of us. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 14 DS/OCD/ASD? mick8_7 wrote: In all areas Mics maladaptive behavior is hindering his learning. I cried.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Laurie- You're right. It does hurt. Treat yourself kindly today. And put on your armor tomorrow and get ready to do battle for Mic. No one can fight for him like you do! Hugs, Donnell (mom to DJ-age 12) mick8_7 wrote: In all areas Mics maladaptive behavior is hindering his learning. I cried.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hello, I am a teacher in a special school in uk. Have a asd/ds kid in class, and joined this group to learn more. I am writing reports for my kids now, and your post was a reminder of what is important. I work closely with families. We all know what the problems are. reports should celebrate achievement in the year, talk about the amazing things kids can do. I think i remember smiling over your tooth brush story. These are the important things. Mic might have problems,but has so many skills too. Made me think twice about the way i teach some sef help skills. I can't imagine how hard it must have been. I will do my best to celebratethe achievement of my kids their reports. thanks for the reminder.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Emma, Welcome to the list - what a breath of fresh air (from the teaching world) you are! I think if most teachers DID stop to think for just a bit before they churned out the report cards and progress reports and thought about a little celebration to go along with the usual " bad " news - it would be an easier pill for parents to swallow. Thank you! Jayne (who loves your name - I have a 10 yr old daughter named Emma Grace!) emma best wrote: Hello, I am a teacher in a special school in uk.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi Laurie, I hate to get into semantics but do not let the school use non-compliance. Research has proven that students that are taught compliance are at risk in adult life for abuse. Besides, what typical child do you know that is totally compliant? Does Mic have a sensory diet built into his IEP? Does the BIP include positive behavioral supports with frequent rewards throughout the day? Are the rewards often enough for Mic to benefit? What type of tasks are they expecting Mic to do in a 1-1 setting? If he is just beginning to show interest in his peers why would they isolate him? Just a few thoughts? Charlyne Mom to Zeb 14 DS/OCD/ASD? laurie drago wrote: Well almost the same crap maladaptive behaviors are getting in the way and non-compliance. BUT he is doing much better playing with his peers and is seemly beginning to show interest in the other children.They have implemented a new behavior plan to see if they can get him to stay on task for longer periods of time and it seems everything going on around him disrupts his attention so they are changing some of his group activities to one on one in a separate room.They think Mic has the ability to dress himself but wont I dont think he does. He can strip his clothes off but getting them back on is a different story. He is helping me more dressing but he doesn't seem to have the motor skills to get his pants and shirt on. He can pull his pants up once I help him get his feet in them and pull his shirt on once I lead his arm in the hole.He gets both legs in on side of his pants and cant get his feet thru. So he's doing little better. Everything is so slow going with him. Hes do for a spurt and sometimes in summer program he does bettter.Im not sitting here crying like I was last time.I can see improvement they dont.Hes eating alot more at school and no more at home but he has begun to drink soda from a bottle not that soda is what I think he should be drinking but at least its something.I was thinking of switching to juice and putting it it a soda bottle but his dad doesnt think its time to do that yet.I talked to some other parents that kids eat better at school then at home.Mics ped says not time to remove pediasure from him because is where hes getting his nutritician from. Getting to these. Laurie __________________________________________________________ Hotmail to go? Get your Hotmail, news, sports and much more!
