Re: shadow at preschool

[Guest guest]

Tina, would a high school or college student suffice for this summer job? I assume you are you only looking for shadow until he starts PLACE. Email me privately (nirvosa@...) your contact information, including phone numbers and what the salary range would be, and I'll see if we can't find you someone.

transitions. My son tends to run alot around the classroom and seems to get overloaded and begins to push other children which is dangerous. The shadow helps him to use his words to facilitate play with others and get him what he needs (food, direction, etc.). For others, it may be something more restrictive or less restrictive. For now, I believe my son does best with a one-to-one individual every time he is at preschool. Does this help? shadow at preschool Hi,I sent a message about a week ago about needed a shadow for my son at his preschool and I have seen no replies to this topic/issue. I am not sure if anyone saw it but me so I am trying again.He is almost 3 and will be starting the PLACE program in the fall, however, I would like him to continue attending his preschool for the duration of the summer. He needs a shadow. The individual can be a student searching for supervision as we have someone who can provide that for them if desired. I am looking for about 4 hours per day 3-4 days per week, morning hours but I am flexible with the

days and times. The only rigid thing is that it needs to be am hours (before noon). If anyone knows of someone or knows how to locate someone for this type of position, I welcome the information.Thanks,Tina __________________________________________________

thank you! I had no idea such a thing existed. we took my son twice to chuckie cheese and came home crying both times before he was diagnosed. in groups of kids he goes nuts within 1 minute. I hope when he gets to go to the Beaudhuin school this year he becomes accustomed to being with other kids and the 1,000% overload stops. I think a shadow must help focus, like an occupational therapist.

Hi, A shadow is more a person who will facilitate inclusion. They call it all kinds of fancy names in elementary school, like one-on-one aide, or transition aide, but I believe that is the main purpose of a shadow. And yes, a big part of facilitating inclusion is to keep the child focused. glenn scott wrote: thank you!
