Need advice for after school routine

[Guest guest]

My 6 yr old, OCD, Sensory integration disorder and possible PDD-NOS son will be

starting 1st grade on the 8th. This is his first experience with all day

anything. The most he has been away from me is on weekends when I work but then

he is with grandma or dad. He has been in half day school for preschool and

Kindergarten. He NEEDS routine and this all day stuff is really going to throw

him -I think. For the past 2 years of school we were home by noon-then lunch and

tv , then out to the playground or outside to get much needed heavy work and

sensory input (and to work off some built up anxiety). Then home for an early

supper, then out again till 6:30, then tv, bath , book s and bed! I have no idea

what the hoomework will be like, but he will be getting home at 3:45pm and will

be in bed by 8pm so it leaves us little time to get that much needed outside

time. Plus no time to do the special things we have always done( parks, orchard

in the fall, zoo, etc). I work all weekend so that is not an option. I just want

this to go as well as possible for him but haven't a clue what to expect or how

to meet his needs now. Also the doc moved his Risperdal to the morning with his

Zoloft but it doesn't seem to have any effect good or bad.
