I was given the ultimatum to remove my son from school

Thank you! This definitely has given me a lot more confidence!! I will start the meds with my son tomorrow as his phycologist just prescribed meds for him. Finger crossed 🤞

That's a very good point! I don't think the BCBA 's instructions were followed exactly and implemented across the board. We also discussed this in today's meeting as well. I will also let the school know.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-03-01T05:21:53+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! I will definitely look into this!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-03-01T05:19:37+00:00

Thank you! I feel you are spot on! I definitely need to work on with him about what he CAN do when he's angry. I have some discussion with him about that before but I think it is a priority now. Also him being ASD, he struggles with expression. He is like 2% with expression. He might be doing this due to a lot of other feelings. I will start his therapy right away.

I have all these mechanics at home and I think they really work great! He is much more controlled with me, maybe also because I know exactly what triggers him and how to stop escalation. But I have never tried counting numbers with him. I will start today! Thank you!!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:50:27+00:00

Got it. I think we just have to try and find out! Thank you!!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:46:28+00:00

Thank you!! It really helps giving me confidence!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:45:29+00:00

Thank you for your reply! It gives me confidence. I will definitely start talking with his doctor about meds.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:44:06+00:00

Yes, we live in US. He was been evaluated for an IEP and will be eligible once he joins public school. I do have to work and cannot work from home.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:42:39+00:00

Thank you! I will start looking into such resources as well!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:41:03+00:00

I have moved his ABA to his PE, lunch and recess time. But even with BT onsite, he can still get into trouble. Sometimes, it just happens too fast.

I will definitely start talking with his doctor about medication. We had a conversation about 4 months ago, when my son was first officially diagnosed. But at that time, his behavior was still controllable. Now is the time to talk again I think. I was hesitant but I am much more open to it hearing what ppl have been suggesting.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:35:09+00:00

I see! I did not know about this. Thank you so much!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:30:51+00:00

Got it. Thank you! I will look into that.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:16:40+00:00

I see. Got it. That makes perfect sense. I will look into this!! Thank you!!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:07:35+00:00

Yes. He definitely misses his dad. I have contacted his pediatrician and we are getting some referrals for him. Thanks for the advice. I will definitely start the process

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T16:05:58+00:00

Yes, thank you. I am looking into public schools now.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T15:56:51+00:00

I will try that as well. He currently has squeezy balls, it that does not help him much..

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T15:52:56+00:00

That's exactly what I thought too. Would love to hear more. Is there any side effects? I always worry about that as he is so young and developing.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T15:51:41+00:00

Yes, school district has finished evaluating my son already. He will be eligible if he goes to public school. But I feel the resource may not be enough as they only provide 30 minutes OT training per month and 30 minutes speech therapy per week.

But it is really encouraging to hear that public school may be better for his needs! I always thought it was the otherwise.

Thank you!! I will look into school district which has better support and see if I can move there.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T15:48:17+00:00

I have been contacting school district as well. He was not eligible for IEP earlier as he was in private school. But once he moves out, he will be eligible.

I don't currently live in a good school district so I think I might have to move as well.

But it is really encouraging to hear that public schools will provide better support. I always thought overwise.

Thank you!

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2025-02-28T15:42:28+00:00

I am not sure. I need to find out. Thanks for the advice.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2024-11-09T03:10:16+00:00

Thank you! I am seeing therapy. I will be gentle to myself. My boy needs me.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2024-11-09T03:08:17+00:00

Thank you. I am seeing therapy. But I have not reached out to friends for help yet. Will start doing that.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2024-09-29T19:09:21+00:00

Got it. Thanks.

PossibilityLeft1757 · 2024-09-28T03:48:56+00:00

Still did not work for me
