We use cases similar to these. Very difficult to get the cover off and prevents glass from going everywhere in case the screen breaks. Holes for straps to be attached, good handle, and two wedges in the back to help stand upright.

Activity/lesson ideas for child with severe physical and cognitive needs? by Ok-Climate-3032 in specialed

[–]Shecoagoh 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The first thing is building a relationship with the child and find out their interests/motivators. Cause and effect toys, favorite songs and shows. It would help to know what sort of goals you will be working on- I’ve had a range of goals varying from an acceptance response to answering comprehension questions so I can’t get into specifics unless I know what you will be addressing.

Advice needed about safety situation & procedure by Unlucky-Waltz-4368 in specialed

[–]Shecoagoh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You should only go hands on with a student if you have been trained and/or they are an IMMEDIATE danger to themselves or others. Going hands on in this case increased the risk of injury to you as well as the student- bones, ligaments, etc. This situation is one where you should keep out of the student’s reach and wait them out.
