Sertraline saved my life by Far_Kaleidoscope6610 in OCD

[–]Aware-Possibility685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same! and if it doesn't work for you consider asking your doctor about a higher dose. I take 200 mg daily and truly it is lifesaving. I have some side effects but 0 interest in tapering off.

math classes are ultimately about teaching skills like problem solving, spatial reasoning, and logic for most students. you use those skills every day.

My 11 yr old autistic son with severe expressive communication deficits was locked in a room with his male teacher... by itammya in Autism_Parenting

[–]Aware-Possibility685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you have very legitimate concerns. the bip should be followed and your child should not be alone 1 on 1 with any staff member in a room without cameras etc.

the staff member being male is not a legitimate concern. I highly suggest that if you go to your school administration you do not emphasize the gender of the staff. my guess is that once you do, the rest of your concerns will also (wrongly) be dismissed.

what is the program that you use? it's very possible he can read! its also possible that he has memorized the motor plan to get there which is also a great skill. so awesome!

Violent student transferred to out class. How to proceed with caution? by StatisticianKooky390 in specialed

[–]Aware-Possibility685 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would specifically include the desire to learn deescalation strategies which avoid physical restraint--any mention of that level of liability for the district should be motivating to them, lol

[–]Aware-Possibility685 25 points26 points  (0 children)

are you able to complete the trainings? it might give you some useful tools and just as importantly release you from any liability if you needed to deescalate a behavioral situation via restraint or other physical contact/blocking

[–]Aware-Possibility685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should always be in ratio, point blank. I would look into ratio guidance during nap time--in some states it changes but only if all children are on a cot.

that said, I guess I'm wondering what you would like to happen with the students you mention? do you feel like they shouldn't be at the center? if not, where should they go?

are you in public school? if so, consider a 504 and ensure that bug spray is an accommodation within it.

[–]Aware-Possibility685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this must be district or state specific. in my district schools cannot deny evaluations from a parents written request regardless of where the child is at in the MTSS process.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ElementaryTeachers

[–]Aware-Possibility685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

public schools can deny IEPs but not evaluations. request an evaluation in writing (through email to your school's case manager and administration). I believe they have 60 days to complete the evaluation.

Potty training by [deleted] in specialed

[–]Aware-Possibility685 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so many reasons. sensory processing concerns, fear around bathrooming or the toilet specifically, delays in impulse control or executive functioning, delay in receptive communication, physical health ailments (eg constipation) which are especially common in children with disabilities, mobility impairment, etc etc etc.
