Colin was diagnosed by a developmental pediatrician at Kennedy Krieger then his diagnosis was confirmed by a pediatric neurologist, who when pressed felt he was HFA level 1 (whatever that really means) now I'm finally getting and ADOS done after some fighting (refused to sign IEP until it was completed) for an educational diagnosis. My question is how do I use the information when developing his IEP? What if I disagree? Is the ADOS rigid enough to force them into offering appropriate/tailored… read more
As a special ed teacher... If he is academically and behaviorally able to maintain in the inclusion setting, I recommend that. The self-contained class is never going to give him the instruction he… read more
My 3 year old daughter has the curliest hair. She hates for me to even touch it. This makes it so difficult to wash and condition her hair. Every time I try detangling her hair it's a meltdown. It makes it even harder when all she wants is baths, because I'm afraid she will hit her head in the tub. I need any suggestions or stories to help me out. Thanks!
detangling shampoo, finger combing it, maybe a little oil, use a cup during the bath for rinsing purposes, washing hair can be done less frequently so as not to dry it out especuially that type of… read more
I am just needing advice on how to make my HSA child feel safe when I am not nearby.
Hello everyone, how you all doing? I am just wondering if anybody in this group live in NC . I live in Holly springs. I would like to know if there is piano lesson that around Cary or Holly springs. My son is 5 1/2 and nonverbal it's seems like he is interested in piano.
Our sons front teeth are starting to get loose now and we can see the start of his adult teeth breaking the gum behind them. I need some reassurance or advice as to how this will go for kids on the severe/moderate spectrum. We're really worried he might swallow them if they get loose enough or pull it himself when it's not ready to be removed. Any advice/suggestions/reassurance for us? Should we go to the dentist to have them professionally removed?

The 100 mile drive has gotten to be a little much. Anyone has any ideas?
My daughter learned how to answer most questions, but I have been trying to teach her how to ask questions such as: "where are we going" or "what's this". How do you guys teach children on the spectrum how to ask questions?
i would say the question that I want her to ask, such as mine has sensory issues, so loud sounds would bother her, so I would jump in when I heard a sound that may bother her and as "what's that… read more
Thank you so much for this team. I have 12 year old son. I am a motswana living in botswana. Not much is known about this condition in my country. Our children are treated like psychiatric clients. No education is there for them especially the worse ones like my son. The only option is to be stuck at home. My question is how do i advocate for him and others. I dont even know what they should be taught.
Also, ABA was mentioned and can be an important start for some kids. I found a blog the describes my favorite ABA book. It has the theory and charts on developmental skills for recording progress… read more
My 2 year old boy has ASD and still doesn't sleep through the night. He wakes up about every two or so hours wanting something to drink. Sometimes he goes back to sleep and other times he gets really upset and cries for a whole. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you ahead of time
My son was like that when he was that age. He chewed the nipples off his bottle and his pacifier. We had to go cold turkey and take away his bottles and pacifiers. He would cry and throw a fit but… read more
