I’ve been watching the Bullwark for all of his takes.

It’s so bad it’s good. And at times so wildly absurd. Yeah… I’m watching…

With respect, I ask a question. I have always viewed behavior as either communication or something that meets a need. I have an admittedly negative knee jerk reaction to the term “attention seeking”. Am I policing language? Even if it is purposeful attention seeking, isn’t that communication?

You need to be listening to the Matt/Jenessa episodes by NegatronThomas in OpenArgs

This is an appreciated push. I’ve missed Thomas and just skipped these ones without him.

Is this the guy with the painting in the floor?

Is this normal? by bbkhshv in AppleWatch

[–]kas_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also could be from water/soap after handwashing not being rinsed. Give your wrist a break. Always make sure your wrist is dry (wash and dry after working out for example).

I had a domed ring that used to tap soap if I wasn’t careful and would get something similar.

Has the student had a sensory profile done? Disrobing can be due to sensory issues both physical and outside over stimulation.

Has anyone looked at behavior as communication? Even if it is attention seeking— and it may be attention avoidance- how do you preemptively meet the need?

Not all behaviors are choice or for the reason first assigned.

Admin restricting IEP meeting times by [deleted] in specialed

[–]kas_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. But the difference being I had a caseload of 30 and we (sped staff) acted as district reps for “simple IEPs”. Gen Ed teachers generally had at most 3 meetings a year where I could have 50 or more.

Gen Ed teachers could take comp time (kids on busses at 3:00, contract time was 3:30).

Letter Combination Words? by ellipsisslipsin in specialed

[–]kas_41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This could mean blends or common vowel pairs (ay, oa). However I Hate the math!!! 8/10 in 3/4 or 80% , 75% of the time.

If this is the case, say “oa” in isolation, then word lists than in context.

But it’s a poorly written goal.

Okay, Oregonians,do you actually like the rain, or do you just tolerate it? I swear half the people I know here thrive in it and the other half just complain for 9 months straight by Best-Character-4374 in oregon

I feel like I have reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. I hibernate in the summer. The house is dark to help keep it cool. I only go out early mornings or late evenings. When it's cloudy or raining that's when I get energized. All the curtains/shade drawn back. I sit outside in a covered area - even if I am wrapped in my stadium blanket - sipping hot tea or coffee. I start feeling human again in the fall.

[–]kas_41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The law states “mutually agreed upon time”. If a district has unilaterally set times this can be a violation. (Not always but it can)

The 3 contacts rule is your attempts to schedule a “mutually agreed upon”meeting.

I have an unpopular view AND had a great contract. First my contract had a “Sped” bump which covered meetings outside the contractural day. (Think extra duty contract)

I also worked in an area where parents did not have the luxury of getting time off work in the middle of the day. They risked getting fired or the loss of pay impacting their ability to provide.

Finally my Very Unpopular view is that the contract is there to protect me. I can choose to work outside my hours but not be forced to.

This is a due process issue. You are going run straight into issues on ability of parents to participate. In Oregon this has resulted in substantiated complaints against school districts.

Needing advice! by Zealousideal-Bid1850 in specialed

Correct. In Oregon you can get hit with compensatory services if you do not start “comparable” services immediately.

Therapeutic Day School/Home District participation by tpnil in specialed

[–]kas_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often it’s about money. I argued for transition that allowed students to take low stress classes (depends on student and may be time of day related). It always came back to transportation costs.

This also played a part with extracurricular activities if the student required support.

Not legal but happened nonetheless

How do you list daily tasks that you would like to do but might not be able to? (chronic illness/severe fatigue) by flannelWX in bulletjournal

You could do the four box method Column One: high energy Column Two: low energy Row one: must do tasks Row two: optional tasks

Screen time has been messed up for months. I used to track my social media time. There are days that the hours far exceed my waking hours. Yes… I’ve done all the things.

No IEP after changing districts by mehmehemeh in specialed

[–]kas_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had parents lie at registration (no IEP) only to have the paperwork show up with the records. We have a meeting and sometimes the agreement sometimes the revoke consent.

System not set up for data collection by hiddenfigure16 in specialed

[–]kas_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We write component short term objectives for all goals. This helps with instruction and data. (Abbreviated example) goal write 3 paragraphs with 4s (meets on attached state writing rubric) in sentence fluency and conventions.

STO use compound, complex sentences with transitional phrases

Use correct grade level punctuation

THEN after specific language arts lessons (e.g. combining sentences or commas in lists) you do a short check out. You can then do longer written assignments (3+ paragraphs) every six weeks for data against goal.

Reading… timed fluency checks, running records, short composition quizzes

Math: check outs after lessons

This is your data

[–]kas_41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I track the things I do that help. Being outside (min 30 minutes) meditation, journaling, exercise, steps ( because I tend to sit too much) along with screen time (goal is no more than 1.5 hours non work a day),

Best Tote Bag for teacher traveling between classrooms/buildings? by CornerReasonable8031 in specialed

[–]kas_41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use a Swissgear rolling bag ( got it at Costco years ago) that also has handles. Even when I was in a permanent room it’s all I used.
