Hello everyone, I was hoping I could reach out to this great community for any behavior intervention suggestions. I have a review ARD tomorrow for my 10 year old daughter that's in 5th grade. She has aspergers and bipolar disorder however the school has qualified her for special-education services under emotionally disturbed. The thing is for the most part I know her triggers at home but at school I'm not there with her so I can offer suggestions from what we do at home but it doesn't always… read more
Having an aide might be appropriate for her safety if she is leaving the classroom. My son had an aide and he sometimes would get very stressed in class--i.e. yelling, banging, really losing… read more
I know this is last minute, but any advice going into the IEP meeting tomorrow? It's our first one... An eligibility determination meeting. I have therapist and social worker going in with me and all paperwork in order. Very nervous and not sure what to expect... Does anyone have some advice for me?
I am glad to hear that it went well for you! Sometimes social work can help with unstructured time, but it sounds like a good team and his needs are being met.
My foster son is in 7th grade (self contained ID classroom) and came home with a permission slip for participating in a 6th grade inclusion class for "family and consumer science" (he is "included" in one elective each day)... I wrote back to his teacher that he is in 7th grade...her response was "our students attend 6th grade electives"... I feel this is wrong (and possibly illegal) does anyone know the "rules" regarding what grade level students are supposed to be included in? Especially… read more
If you are concerned that it may not be appropriate for him, you could request to observe him in the class and see first hand if it is a good placement. Then, if it is not appropriate, you could… read more
Autism, We have had to stand outside the last two funerals and now today a wedding due to running away, meltdowns, yelling
Thanks for the notes, appreciate the camaraderie in this situation
My son keeps running away from home. The last time he stripped down naked first. I have a bad feeling I'll be getting charged with neglect or endangerment. Idk what to do anymore...
I have a lock mounted high on our front door and the door to the garage. We don't on our deck door bc we have a fenced in backyard. We have combination bicycle locks on our two gates so he can't get… read more
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

First thing is the diagnosis the psychological side and the behavioral side and the social side
How do I stop my son from running away when we are in public? As soon he is out the car or anywhere he will just run off, especially if he's been there before and was attracted by something he likes.
My son ran away all the time when he was 4; even @ home. Prior to leaving to go somewhere, I would remind of the rules - that he needed to stay by me and if he ran away he would not get dessert that… read more
I am enjoying art lessons at the moment and my son loves stickers
John is a bowler, but he likes ushering in our church. His phone is essential, because he cannot read!
She tends to do okay once she’s asleep. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night but she’s alert. She woke up today at 5am after sleeping since 9:30 last night. She was crying and throwing herself on her bed. It was like when she had a meltdown. I don’t believe she was in pain. She kept giving me the tv remote but she wasn’t happy with anything I put on the tv. Water always calms her down so we got her in the shower and after 20 minutes of playing with bubbles she calmed down and got… read more
Maybe she is experiencing a hard transition between sleep and waking moments or differentiating between dream and reality ...
I went through that a lot when my son was younger. HE would wake up… read more
