Hi team,
I am looking for recommendations for an educational advocate to help us secure placement and services for our son. We are in the Rhode Island school system.

With Christians recent injury, he is in an immobilizer for a month. We are unable to remove it long enough to shower him. Ive gotten quite good at sponge bathing him but shampooing is a problem. I cant get it rinsed well enough. Any ideas? Thanks!
They make hair washing trays so you could wash his hair story of like they do at the salon using your kitchen sink. They sell them on Amazon for 15-25 dollars.

I say just be careful.
So my mom never thought me how to follow a routine. So I'm pretty new to this 😕. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

We have had a very hard summer. My son is 9 years old , non verbal, low functioning, very irritable and aggressive all the time and has been on respirdol for quite a few years and he has had to have it increase it a lot because after a few months it doesn't help him anymore.
