Hey, no apologizing for asking questions allowed on this board!! And

We'll be with you in spirit!

In Braden's IEP, we do have it written that they will provide a

system for communicating that he is getting upset and needs to leave

the room. I think he uses different colored post its this year...but

I'm not sure because his teacher has gone dead silent again.....three

more weeks..... In the middle school they will give him a free pass

to get up and go to the guidance counselor's office if he gets upset.

We also have comments about providing lots of positive feedback for

appropriate behavior.

Additionally, the teachers are supposed to notify my in advance of

any assignment so I can discuss it with Braden ahead of time and

determine if there is a problem that he can then work out with the

teacher via modifications. Hopefully this will prevent some

meltdowns and panics from having stuff sprung on him at the last

minute.

We have no behavior charts. Just behavior monitoring and reporting

by the teachers. Nothing that Braden has to be responsible for,

though.

I know I totally keep forgetting to do it. I have been pretty busy with

school starting up and honestly haven't been feeling all to great either. My

back is killing me and my hips tend to follow my backs lead, so things have

just been stiff and swollen and my computer is just super broken (like I

basically need a new one but I have no money to buy one.. but I did fall in

love

with a 4.2lb laptop.. which absolutely doesn't help when you have no money LOL)

so I just really haven't had a chance to. I can only get on my computer for

a short amount of time before it shuts itself off and honestly I'd rather

check my e-mails from you guys rather then update my webpage.. I will

eventually

do it though but as I type right now my computer is over heating..:::sigh:::

Anyway other then a flare I am doing pretty good. Sorry to hear that Nick

is still feeling so icky, poor guy. Give him a big gentle hug from me.

Lots of Love

Hey there! I'm here too now! Did you see was diagnosed with Aspergers?Kim ElliottFrom: "johndrea1194@..." <johndrea1194@...> Sent: Sat, December 18, 2010 6:07:18 AMSubject: Re: ( ) Social Stories and Rewards for

Potty Training?

Not sure about the social story for potty training, i used rewards. I was just very clear with the rules. i let my kids know ahead of time that the rules would change as they learned use the potty. at first it was a tootsie roll for just sitting, then they had to do something on it to go, then it was they had to use the potty for certain blocks of time then it was a day, 2days and so on. so they had to do more to get the reward. I would just keep reitterating the new rule when it changed. My son trained later than his big sister. she was about 2 and 1/2 he was over 3.

I hope this helps.

( ) Social Stories and Rewards for Potty Training?

Hi guys,I am gearing up to start (re-start, really) trying to potty train my 3 1/4 year old son when he is on Christmas break starting Monday. I have been told by several people that a social story about potty training would be a good tool. While I have written other social stories for him in the past, I am not quite sure how to write on this topic. Does anyone have a good one they could share?I am also wondering about the reward system of potty training, where the child gets a little something for sitting on the potty, more for peeing, and then a bigger prize for pooping (my friend did it with M & Ms - 1, 3, or 5, depending on what her son did). We tried a sticker reward chart during a previous potty training attempt, and it was not a useful motivator. I am thinking about trying with some of those chewy fruit snacks this time around. My son really loves them, and we do not usually keep them in the house. My concern is what if they

do turn out to be a good motivator, and then he expects to get a reward every time he uses the potty from now until eternity? In general, we find that we have to be careful about doing anything special just once, because our son will assume that is the way it will always be going forward. Has anyone used this potty training method with success, and if so how did you wean off the rewards? Or would it be better not to have a set reward promised in advance, but to surprise him with the treat if he uses the potty? Or no reward at all except lots of applause?Thanks for all of your help - I have a feeling we will need it!Bridget
