Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I went and observed the classroom with my mother. It is an isolated classroom with a max of 10 kids in it. There is one teacher (who is very good) and there is also two classroom aides. Most of the kids in there are there because they were disruptive in class and some of them were violent. There is only one girl in there right now. It probably isn't the place for my child, but she can't function in the mainstreamed population either. If anyone has any ideas, please HELP! > > > > Hello, > > I am a new member and wanted to share my story with you. I am the > > mother of 5 year old twins and a 10 year old child.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I doubt putting her in an ED class placement is a good thing. Usually it's not. Having said that, you should always go visit the class/placement and find out what it's like. You never know. If she does ok with a 1-1 aide in regular classes, then she should probably continue that. If the aide is really awful, I would start documenting the problems in writing and then after a short period of time, ask for an IEP meeting to discuss the problems and hopefully either train the aide or get a different aide. RoxannaAutism Happens ( ) New to the group Hello,I am a new member and wanted to share my story with you. I am the mother of 5 year old twins and a 10 year old child. They are all girls. My ten yr. old has Asperger's. No matter what I do, I can't get her school to do anything for her. She had a TSS worker and a mobile therapist until the agency decided she didn't need them anymore (they said insurance wouldn't cover it, but they would). This forced the school to seek an aide for her. This took two months, in which she bottomed out her grades and dug herself a hole in her social circle which she cannot dig out of. When they did find her an aide, I didn't even know it for two weeks. When i found out, i requested to meet her because if she is going to be with my daughter every day i at least want to know what she looks like. I wish i would've skipped that. She has an eyebrow piercing, a tongue piercing and has never worked with a child with the disorder savanna has. As time went on, things just got worse, the aide picks apart everything she does, even if it is something a "normal" child would do. Savanna's other disorder is she pulls out her hair as a coping mechanism. From what i am told, this is a common symptom with the AS. Well, now she is moving to sixth grade in the fall and her IEP meeting is in May. They want to put her in the emotional support class when she goes to sixth grade. What are the opinions on this or is there anyone that has a child in this type of class and what have the results been? I would appreciate any help.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Dana, Welcome to the group. Comments interspersed. S S I am new to this group and appreciate what I have learned just reading the posts. I have posted a few questions but have not formally introduced myself. I have just turned three year old twin boys with autism. They were diagnosed in December and we are trying to learn all of our options to help our boys on the road to recovery. They have been on a special diet for 10 months with some wonderful improvements. We have been using supplements for about 6 months. So, I feel their bodies are getting healthier and their behavior, awareness, understanding, and eye contact are definately much better. But something is holding them back. They are still non verbal and do not socialize with each other or other children. That is what has brought me to this group. *Consider introducing ASL (American Sign Language) and/or PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) if you haven't already. These provide a method of communication while one continues to work on speech. I will continue to read the files and try to learn as much as possible before we embark upon anything new. Thanks for all the very helpful information that is being shared here. I have enjoyed reading the responses to Jim's recent post. Very helpful information shared and a lot of encouraging posts. Thanks, Dana and Garrett, 3 years old as of Mar 24 SCD 10 months Celiac, ASD, Speech and Motor Apraxia _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 From: Colleen Teitgen-Humphrey <cteitgen@...> Date: 2007/05/25 Fri PM 01:52:08 CDT Subject: ( ) New to the group Colleen, it sounds like you have things well in hand. I wouldn't worry about the getting himself dressed and stuff like that. It's kind of a cultural thing here in America to want kids to do everything early. I still dress my daughter if we are in a rush and she is older than your son. I would focus on the social stuff and trying to provide him with peers to play with. Hello everyone, I've been reading your messages for a little over a month but finally wanted to introduce myself. My son will be 3 in August and has not been officially diagnosed yet (we're on the clinic's waiting list). But I have known for a long time that something was really different about him. Everyone else thought that I was just a worry-wort and that he was fine but I persisted. Someone wrote a post a while ago that sounded almost exactly like me son. He is very obsessive, especially with his trains, cars, etc. -- anything with wheels. He lines them up over and over again. He loves signs -- especially road signs and has memorized all of them. If we're taking a walk, he has to go up to the sign and at least touch the pole if he can't reach the sign. He has a really hard time with transitions and needs to finish his pattern before being disrupted. He used to be obsessed with opening and closing sliding doors but that has gotten a little better. He does a lot of visual stimming with things that are repetitive like fences, wheels, posts, etc. He's got a lot of language pragmatic problems -- he calls himself " you " and other people " I " . He will oftentimes just repeat a question when we ask him one instead of answering it. He's had a lot of difficulties socializing with other children. For a long time it seemed like he was actually afraid. He's very social with adults though. We have him in a Montessori preschool 2 mornings a week and that has helped him overcome some of the social fears. He's very affectionate with adults and in general is a very happy child. He doesn't really seem to understand when someone else is angry or sad though and just smiles like normal. He also seems to have a love/talent for music. We are working with an OT and ST and will enroll him in a special needs preschool in the fall where he'll continue OT and ST. We're in Northern CA by the way (Santa ). We really have difficulty getting him to be interested in doing things for himself. Everything is a struggle! He has no interest in getting dressed/undressed himself, he's not very good with eating utensils, he doesn't want to try other " big kid " activities. Any advice in this area? I'm sure a big part of it is his lack of fine and gross motor skills. Maybe we just need to be patient? Well, I guess I've rambled on long enough. I'm sure there's more to say about him but I'll wait for future posts. Thanks for reading.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Welcome Colleen! Glad you found us and feel free to jump in whenever you like. As for self care, I would be patient. But also, be less available to help, slower to bend over and do it for him - make him think, "Hey, I could do this faster by myself!" And help up to a point and then stop - such as during dressing, you can pull pants up to the thigh and then say "You finish it!" If he balks or tantrums, then do hand-over-hand with him until he gets the "motor planning" part down and can do it himself. Anytime you can make it a game or a song or a challenge for fun, it helps.

I've never had anyone in my life who's really understood either, though my mother has always said I deserve an honorary degree for all I've been through. All I can tell you is I homeschool him now, and you are not alone. I don't know what kind of advice I an give cuz there wasn't as much help out there when he was little as there is now. All I can offer is an ear and the benefit of my experience, if you're interested. ~ > > I am new to the group! I have a ds that has aspergers and adhd.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hi all-- I am also new to this group. My youngest son, 10 has just been diagnosed with AS. For years I wondered what I was doing wrong, but now I know that maybe all is not my fault. The school system here in Texas is wonderful and I have more then enough support...right now. Lets see how things pan out. Just a little history here. I'm a single father of 2 boys. One 14 and the other 10 with AS. My ex and I divorced in 2004 after I returned from Iraq. I gained custody of both boys at that point. My son was just diagnosed with As last Thursday and my head is still spinning from it. Larry ( ) Re: new to the group Hi ,I'm new to the group, too.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Larry, Grab Tony Attwood's book and start reading. Another one that I really enjoyed is by a parent and is called How to eat an Artichoke. Our son is 14 and was diagnosed 3 months ago, but we suspected it for 2-3 years. I am also a special ed teacher, but teaching for 6-7 hours in the structured school environment is certainly different than living it at home. That structure is hard to maintain alone. We are a two parent home, but it is still hard. My husband was a single parent to this son from ages 7 -10, before any diagnosis besides ADHD and gifted. When we married I knew there was more and we started searching - so now his diagnosis is Aspergers, bipolar, and ADHD. Our son is currently in residential treatment due to the complexity of the comorbid disorders. One thing that they are helping us to plan for when he returns home is one or two respite people that we can call on to assist us so that we can have some down time at home. There are few agencies that provide such services, so my husband and I are seriously considering starting our own agency in Southeast Louisiana.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 well my ds was managing ok in public school until they changed teachers on him and ever since then it has been downhill. Now he has a teacher that has not only never taught before this year, she has never had to deal with an autistic child before. She is however working with the Autistic specialist at the school but so far it has not helped any. Now my ds will be going into special school for summer school and 2nd grade! I am embracing the help! The teacher he has now keeps threatening me with kicking him out of the classroom for his "tantrums" so I am hoping and praying that this summer and next year will be better!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 --Hi Larry, That is great news that the school system. What do you think made them successful? I am pursuing a spec. ed degree, I have been in the public school system for 9 years as a teacher assist. I have been asked by my professor to interview family members of students with aspergers. What do you think have been good strategies that this school district has used? Do you have any other suggestions on what you think would make a great sped. teacher for kids with aspergers? I appreciate any input you can give. Thanks RB ph W. Bandiera 9632 Simsbury Court Twinsburg, Ohio 44087 ---- Larry Weinreich <LWEINREICH@...> wrote: Hi all-- I am also new to this group. My youngest son, 10 has just been diagnosed with AS. For years I wondered what I was doing wrong, but now I know that maybe all is not my fault. The school system here in Texas is wonderful and I have more then enough support...right now. Lets see how things pan out. Just a little history here. I'm a single father of 2 boys. One 14 and the other 10 with AS. My ex and I divorced in 2004 after I returned from Iraq. I gained custody of both boys at that point. My son was just diagnosed with As last Thursday and my head is still spinning from it. Larry ( ) Re: new to the group Hi , I'm new to the group, too. My son is 16 with AS. I've never had anyone in my life who's really understood either, though my mother has always said I deserve an honorary degree for all I've been through. All I can tell you is I homeschool him now, and you are not alone. I don't know what kind of advice I an give cuz there wasn't as much help out there when he was little as there is now. All I can offer is an ear and the benefit of my experience, if you're interested. ~ > > I am new to the group! I have a ds that has aspergers and adhd.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi. You said the teacher threatens to kick him out of the classroom for his "tantrums". Does he have an IEP?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 The very fact that this teacher thinks they are " tantrums " tells me she has no clue about autism. She needs to be educated and she needs to be bluntly told so. Go tell her to look up OVERLOAD or MELTDOWN under autism and see if she can learn anything at all.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 There are some great books out there that cover the symptoms and behaviors of autism. If you think it won't send the teacher into major retaliation mode, buy her one of the books and say "Here's an awesome book that really helped me, especially chapter xx.."

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi, I am new to the group and have a 6 year old son with Fragile X and Autism. He is going to school at the SDC at Lafayette Elementary and just started Monday. So far so good! We just started drinking the Monavie Juice and wondered if anyone has experience with it. I would love to hear what your thoughts are. Thank you. Sheri Mom to Zach/6 yo/FragX/Aut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
