I'm traveling to Charlotte, NC from Ft. lauderdale and I'm not sure if I should take my daughters weighted blanket. It's only 3 lbs, but I'm only taking one suitcase and I'm flying by myself. It helps her sleep. We've only had it for a month. We'll be there for a week.
take it don't take a chance that she may need it. Pray and trust that all will go well

Are there any other mom/teacher (or dad/teacher) combos out there that could share how they balance the work and personal part of this while at school.

She is willing to sit on pot for long periods but almost never goes. Yet as soon as you turn your back, she has either gone in her pull… read more

Hi
Our son is currently enrolled to attend a level four isd classroom in Eagan due to his aggression.
We are struggling with his placement in this program as he is so young (6).
He has excellent verbal skills, intelligent, currently receiving in home ABA therapy and is social.
