I'm coming up on our iep meeting to talk about the transition from their special needs pre-k class to mainstream kindergarten next year. I know that they will both be provided a para for the whole day. I understand that they need a little extra help to stay focused and on task and they can be somewhat impulsive which could make it difficult for their teacher to keep up with their needs and the needs of everyone else in the class. They are going to be in the same class because there is only one… read more
My nephew has a one-on-one aide and he is in an inclusion classroom. He is also ID though. The kids DO know he is "different" and needs extra help BUT they are great about it....and are awesome with… read more
Hello Melissa, you are in good company. I would suggest calling an IEP and requesting a behavior assessment. With the assessment results, they can provide services from a school behaviorist.
Does anyone currently have a home health aide my sons pediatrician suggest Liam should get one to help me out at home with my boys I feel like Im running a pretty smooth ship but I would like to hear anyones experience.
Just take your time with it. I'm not leaving my son alone with the aide no time soon. I need time for him to adjust to her. Just let someone come in for a few hours to start and let your child get… read more
Hello Everyone,
New member here. My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at age 4. This diagnosis was changed to ADD Inattentive Type a few years after that. It really has been a whirlwind of changed/new diagnoses for the last several years, an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. My question pertains to his public school IEP classification, which is currently "speech impaired." I didn't push for an ASD classification, since I had no difficulty obtaining the necessary services in the school… read more
Felicity, thank you for the info. We are located in NYC.
My son who is in first grade has had a rough couple of months, and these past two weeks it has gotten worse since being put on new medication. We are having a safety plan meeting this week and was wondering if anyone has suggestions on what to put into place and such. He’s been getting very aggressive and running away (out the building). School work seems to be the main part of the anxiety since he is in a regular class room, with no help in there
Side note, miraculously I’m assuming the… read more

ABA therapy
It depends in where you are located. If I was not working fulltime, I would have put my child in a school that is 1 hr away from us but ABA school( private) but can be covered by the district as to… read more
My son loves stickers and bus rides but better is train journey
He likes watching Youtube videos, listening to music, making animation using Stick Node, dancing, ice skating, swimming, eating, and being tickled. Lol.
I am hoping to get a one on one aide added from my son. I have been told by 1 staff member the district rarely, if ever, writes a 1 on 1 into an ARD (iep in Texas) but the support is provided. I would rather have it written into the ARD because I am just not that trusting..... I have been reading articles and feel like a) probably I am going to be told no and b) it should have occurred to me sooner to get doctor's and psychiatrist's documentation. I doubt I can get that together before Tuesday… read more
Thanks for the help. It was written in one of his Functional Behavior Assessments he cannot be alone so maybe that will help some. I will see how it goes. I am mostly comfortable with the smaller… read more
We are in San Diego, Poway school district. In a class of 10 kids, there's one teacher & 5 aides. Lot of IEP goals are possible to work upon provided my kid is pushed little bit more. 60% of the goals are not even 50% successful. So What's the use of so much staff around in the class? Lot of these things he is able to do at in-home ABA class. We have questions in our mind about motivation, scenario planning (to work on specific task), instruction delivery to my kid.
Does anyone has knowledge… read more
It all starts with the teacher. If your child has a good teacher , the aides will follow their lead. And vice versa. I've seen both scenarios. Luckily , my child's first teacher was good natured… read more
