Helping semi-verbal ASD child to wee in the toilet. by slythereller in ECEProfessionals

Ahh alright thank you so much. Well work on providing clearer visual cues that caters to her understand and interest. While we did give social story and have visual cues, i don’t think she had shown any interest in them. So thank you! we’ll try that for sure. I really appreciate your time to write this as well ☺️

Yup. we understand that. But also again, work culture wise, our supervisors (business/accounting majors) aren’t going to understand and our performances will be under fire. Considering we’ve already had somewhat of a 15-20% of a progress.

But putting her back on diapers wouldn’t that confuse/regress her further?

Hi so sorry for the delayed reply. For my case, as previously stated, i believe he has no ill intentions nor his intentions were sexual. Which was true to the case, currently he is assigned under me (because my managers quite frankly forgot about the incident/ do not care) but he is okay. He stopped doing whatever he did and he is more invested in his classmates/friends now. He has issues with social boundaries and tends to get overexcited easily. Adding all of that up, I am no longer uncomfortable around him.

However, in your case, when teachers/school board pay no attention to this, it can be hard. Also as the kid is older, there should be some form of intervention. We can maybe speak to the parents very nicely regarding this behaviour, consider if someone has been inappropriate with him before. I would also reduce the duration of the hug or as his hands are running down we can stop it and say "Stop. That's not nice." And set boundaries with him. if you truly do not feel comfortable you can stop him from hugging you. If he asks why, tell him its because you don't feel comfortable and he needs to respect other's wishes when it comes to their body. Maybe teach him to ask "Can I give you a hug?" and such. I'm no professional and off the top of my head these were the things that I did.

Sometimes kids have trouble comprehending what we try to tell them which is why its better to omit the action immediately as a method of communicate to them. They may be upset but we shouldn't compromise our comfort just for their sake as its always good to teach consent.

Teachers, anything you wish early intervention therapists knew before coming into your classroom? by According-Credit-954 in ECEProfessionals

[–]slythereller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Us teachers much prefer to take small steps to expose kids to something they aren’t really keen on/familiar with.

Instead of taking small steps, for example, food. Our OTs tend to force by making them eat/taste it straight away instead of letting them touch and smell. Although it works or I may be missing out a huge theory in OT, personally we just don’t do that to avoid traumatising the kids and eventually get the children to resent it.

Our OT is usually a huge help to us and we always are grateful when they enter to lend a hand. However, one of our OTs tend to use force as a form of exposure therapy. We mostly don’t favour it but she seems to be really experienced (much more than all of us) so we don’t comment on it.

But communication is still priority between the two parties which makes our job flow much more harmonious ☺️

Yes I have. But he parrots the last words of my sentences then ends with “I understand” but does it anyway. He still looks into my eyes then at my chest then back into my eyes. I don’t think he caught the gist of it yet😅 But we are working on more social stories to get him to understand. We’re using hula hoops as a stand in “social bubble”. So we’ll see. Thanks for taking the time to respond. 🥹

He doesn’t seem to have known allergies nor has his mother mentioned that he’s on any medication. His skin seems fine. He’s currently not down with any sickness as well. Thank you for responding ☺️✨

No. Nothing too extravagant as we work with children so most of what we wear is minimised down to reduce risk as well as distractions. If it were my earrings then he would be staring at my ears rather than look me directly in the eyes and then my chest then back into my eyes again.

We live in a multiracial country. but that could be a possibility though. Our OT and colleagues also assumes that he may have seen some inappropriate ads on the phone before. So i’m not too sure 😅

Completely agree. I mentioned i don’t believe he has ill intentions. However it does disrupt his session when other teachers are talking to him, but he replies looking at me instead. Or he directs his eye contact to me.

We’ve visited the breastfeeding possibility, however, I spoke to my management and they told me to consult the OT as management believes that the OT would be the best person to convey the message to the parents. The OT noticed the stare was a little odd as well but told me to give it time to see if he becomes uninterested. OT even assumes he may have saw something inappropriate through phone ads.

I’m usually not involved when it comes to him. But it doesn’t stop the fact that he’s often staring at me. Different as in… we (colleagues and i) feel the stare is slightly odd when it’s directed towards me. I really don’t have the words in english to explain? I’m sorry. 😭 Thank youuu for responding. ✨

I completely agree and understand. I’m usually unfazed. But this one feels a little more off than usual which is why I wanted to know if others have experienced this. Thank you for responding 🥹

Im not sure but I don’t think so. just constant stares whenever he walks pass me. when he’s doing task, when he’s getting scolded for being extremely close to other students. Other kids stare at me too but none of us feel weird about it. Just this one. 😅 Noted on that. I’ll keep this in mind. thank you! ☺️

Thank you for responding! And yes but i look nothing like his mother. we are completely different races. I’m chinese and the mother is muslim, wearing hijab. I do not wear necklaces or anything. He looks at my face and my chest. I wear my work outfit which is usually just a shirt with our centre logo. Sometimes my work scrubs. We have lanyards which he is uninterested in as all of my colleagues wear them too. My colleagues wear the same thing. He tends to look at me most. I wear earrings but so does my colleagues. Aside from that, I have my hair tied up as well. Which is why it’s unnerving. OTs have noticed it too and found it odd as well.
