It rarely is just one or the other, aides are usually there during mainstreaming and if you have a decent iep, you should have an aide even in inclusion (unless they don't need one - in which case, congratulations! Your child is recovered!). My son has an aide although I'm very unhappy right now with them. The SD's out here lost a lot of money and some good people's jobs were cut and now we're left with the crappy mess. They've cut all full time aides so now they have two aides, one in the morning and one in the afternoon so they don't have to pay for benefits. And to top it off, two of the people that were cut were the ones handpicking aides to go with the kids and training them beautifully. It sucks. And now I'm about to throw a fit on Monday about our 2 crappy aides that don't seem to have a lick of common sense.

Kids can be fully included in a classroom with typical peers with support (ie an aide or paraprofessional). It shouldn't be just one or the other - ie special ed. classroom or regular classroom with no supports. There are a myriad of options in between but it does all seem to boil down to the school district's willingness and funding.

Schools receive more $$ for each child that qualifies for special education services. What they do with that money is often a mystery (to me anyway). Of all the battles we *get* to fight, this is by far the most frustrating and disempowering. Luck of the draw shouldn't be the determining factor as to whether or not a child receives an appropriate education with the supports they need to be included with their peers.

wow. I literally just left a post about going through the same thing with my son over the winter. It was terrible. I honestly don't know what caused it but it was during a time when he was beginning to realize (and CARE) that there was a difference between him and the other kids and he was pretty angry about it. This is what lead me to biomed. I sometimes wonder if his condition (most probably viral in nature) is cyclical and maybe he was on a down-swing. (???) I noticed, too, in pictures during those months, he didn't look 100%...and he did fight a nasty cough on and off over the winter. Which just lead me to a thought on your son, he could be experiencing allergies (we've been sniffling and sneezing here in the mornings). Vamp up on the anitoxidants...see if it

My oldest started kindergarten a week ago and he's regressing. He did so good last year in pre-k and thought he would transition go Kindergaten well but he is acting like he did 3 years ago before we started biomedical. I'm really scared for him. He's lashing out at teachers and students, refusing to do work and throwing things. He hasn't done this for the last 2 years. He seed to start to go down hill the week before school but ramped up the 2nd day of school. U can't figure our if it's a virus, allergies, or just plain ole nerves. I thought if he was just nervous he would have calmed down by now, but he hasn't. He was on Respen-A and we took him off as it seemed to cause him to act this way, but he's been off a week now and symptoms aren't any better. It did cause him to regress but I would think he is over it now, but he's not. I just am beside myself and don't know the problem. Any advice? Can kiddos regress with stress? Thank you for your help.

I would be asking where they're spending the federal dollars they receive for these kids? The aides are just as important as the teachers. People better wake up and realize they can either spend the money now and help our children become independent tax paying citizens or they can choose to take shortcuts, rip our kids off and help raise them to be life-long tax burdens. Even if they don't have the heart to care about our children, you think they're have the good sense to realize it's an investment. It's ridiculous.To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Sat, August 21, 2010 1:48:16 AMSubject: Re: Regression, need help!

When we went from his ESE Class to mainstream we had the same problems. The schools fought tooth and nail to keep my son in ESE Autism cluster classrooms and when he did get 30 min mainstream period the teachers (Who are overwhelmed) took offense and did not support it and Connor did not cooperate either. Finally I had him put in open gen ed full time and the for the first year the school was unable to get a para in place. It was very much tough love and hard on Connor. The first six weeks we went through hell together. Me in and out of the school often. Inappropriate behavior. defiance. all of it. The real problem was that he had never had any opportunity to learn the basics of grade school in his ese setting. He did not have the social skills nor did he have the skills to stay organized

in a normal classroom. The Outcome.After six week it just stopped: He figured out what he was doing that got him sent to the office and in trouble with dad. His defiance disappeared at school and home for the most part (Any kid is going to act out sometimes at 10). The first semester he got three F's two D's and a B(Art).The last semester he got two A's Three B's and a D (Science with a teacher that fought to change his placement all year).

Mainstreaming failed miserably for my son, too. My son didn't want to be in a typical class for an 30 minutes and then have to go back to his SDC. He wanted to be with the typical kids all the time and because he kept getting shuffled back and forth, he looked at being in the typical class as play time. He *needed* to be fully included in order for him to succeed. It took 2 years for the SD to realize that mainstreaming was not the right choice for him no matter how much they think autistic kids need time to transition.It sounds to me like this new school for your son might be a good idea. If he's able to express that he'd like to try it, he'll likely put effort into it. Poor guy, it's hard to know you're different.

Cheryl~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~@midian42~

Oh, he definitely knew his class was different than the others. They tried main streaming him part days which failed miserably. We're really stuck. He's past the point of needing the sp. ed class but he's not ready to mainstream. An aid is out of the question and at this point, I think it would only make matters worse for his psyche. I'm really leaning towards homeschooling. He was offered a spot in a visual aids class across the street from my house. He wants to try it....I was not all that impressed but given the year he had last year, I feel it's in his best interest to let him try it if he wants to. We'll see what happens.

A lot of kids do have "seasonal" regression due to allergies, illness, etc. But a major thing to also remember is that it's new for him. My son never had much of a transition need. He's never been rigid or had a routine he had to stick to. My son also knew he was in a special class and that he was with kids that were "different". I know that is a little different from what you are going through but it's not that different. He knew, even if he couldn't verbalize what he knew, it was not a normal class (he was in a special day class from 3yo to K. They finally included him (he's known since his 4 year old class and I had been trying for inclusion in K) when we decided to repeat K with full inclusion. He's now in 1st, his second year of inclusion and doing miles better than he ever did in SDC. Kids are smart, autism or not. They know when something's not right and he

*knew*! He knew

Unfortunately the school system (and government for that matter too) are very short-sighted. They only look ahead one year at a time. I agree that if they'd invest in our kids immediately, do intensive therapies of all kinds for the first 3-5 years after diagnosis, a lot of our kids would transition into regular ed as a natural process. However that's a pipe dream for another time...................nancy j

I think you are right on. Our iep meeting is on Monday. Rhonda Masengale

Mainstreamed means the child gets time in a gen ed class but does not spend all day there, is not actually *in* that class. Inclusion is what you are calling fully mainstreamed. For me, the first thing I would do is ask for a functional behavioral assessment and an evaluation for an aide. Having a behavioral plan in place is crucial to know what's happening and why. I would also go and observe the class so I could see what was happening. It could be they just aren't accommodating him enough or he needs an aide. What is the behavior and why is it happening is important because it might not be placement that's the problem but the class or the way they are handling things. They may be treating him in a way that doesn't make sense for him. For instance, they may have expectations that he'll follow directions but he has no aide to redirect him to focus on the task.

Or maybe he doesn't have an aide at all and he needs one. Or maybe they are speaking in sentences that are too long. So many things to consider and it takes investigation. In the end, you may be right. It might just be the wrong placement. But I wouldn't pull him from typical peers unless you are sure it's necessary.What supports does he currently have in his iep?

Cheryl~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~@midian42~

Cheryl, are you saying your son did better totally mainstreamed as opposed to partially? My son is fully mainstreamed, always has been but is only now having a hard time adjusting. He had bad behavioral problems when we started 3 years ago. He got better with biomed treatment but seems to have regressed with going to kindergarten, at a new school this year. I expected he would do well, he was very social, but now he seemsore withdrawn and is acting out. I'm very upset about it and wondering if I should homeschool him. I don't know what to do.Rhonda Masengale

I *think* she meant it's out of the question because he already knows he's different and is uncomfortable with it and having an aide would only make those feelings worse. That's what I got out of it, at least.

Why is an aide out of the question? Is it due to funding issues? If so the law says they need to provide what a child needs. They didn’t want to give me an aide for either, but they did. We used to cluster kids with academic needs who didn’t qualify for an aide in ’s class so more kids would be helped. The aide was always introduced as an aide for the class so wouldn’t know she was really there for him. That way he didn’t get too dependent on her and didn’t think he was being treated differently. But having an aide helped free up time for the teacher to actually help a kid like mine who required much more time than the average bear.

Cheryl,

You are right about how smart they are and how they know when they are being treated differently. For kids who are supposed to be unaware of social cues, that is one behavior they always pick up on.

I didn't see anyone mention PANDAS here. This is a big time for strep, causes

catastrophic regression for both of my boys.

Our principal will not let us observe our child in school. We even brought it

up at the IEP meeting with a school attorney present and it was pushed down to a

campus policy. My advocate was livid.

I don't think the school can legally not allowe you to observe your child at school. I think the only thing the school can require is a certain amount of notice, meaning no drop-ins. That info should be on the tacanow.org website. If not, Lynne Arnold on the taca yahoo group is a whiz at that kind of legal info. I'd get in that group and ask the question.nancy j

Are you kidding me? You could probably take that to court. There's no way that can be ok? Someone has your child in their care for 6 hours a day and you can't look in on that? Oh, hell no! Is this a public school???To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Sun, August 22,

I had a school say that I couldn't come and observe, and come to find

out after my child recovered, he told me that he was regularly put into

dark rooms by himself. I was never told this, and he said he didn't

know to tell me until he recovered. Please check with the district and

higher up to see if they can legally keep a parent from coming to the

school. One thing I am dong this year is signing up to be a volunteer.

This way, I can at least see things when I volunteer for school field

trips. This school has let me come and observe. Last year I went to

observe, and frankly, I forbade my kid from going back into her class.

The principal let me have my way, and my son did fine with the new teacher.

See if the school can keep you from visiting, and then try to be a

volunteer as well. If nothing else, when you go pick up your child for

appointments, offer to go to his class to pick him up, and then you can

peak in the door window and see how things go. I have done this as

well. Sometimes I was shocked at my kid's behavior and sometimes I was

shocked at the teacher's behavior or just the environment. One time,

everyone in the class was using dry erase markers at the same time, and

the door was closed. I could not even enter the room, the smell was so

strong. My boy got high and looked like a zombie. No kidding. You

just never know what you will see.

Love and prayers,

I would definitely contact the state dept. of education because I don't believe they can legally do that. Also, anytime a SD tries to tell you something that doesn't sound right, ask to see the policy.

The principal does not make those decisions. Go directly to the Superintendant

of the School District. Be kind and tell them what you want without making any

accusations. If that does not work, get upset and make accusations.
