[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 128585, member: 2270"] Oh my lord, are you sure your not talking about my difficult child.:winking: Mine used to go under table as an escape to get away from whatever was agitating her. The school tried to physically remove her, needless to say that teacher was fired. I had put in place in the IEP/BIP that difficult child could go out of the room to a "safe place" . This was a rug in the office in a spot that was out of sight of other kids, but principal/nurse could see her. In that spot we put her favorite stuffty to do with as she pleased.(I know 14 is a little old for stuffed animals but it helped my then 10 yr old.) Sometimes she would ring the poor stuffty's neck, other times she would hug it and cry. It was just her"friend" to help her calm herself. Maybe the stuffty could be replaced by a favorite object or game. We had a timer that was set for 15 minutes. When it went off, the nurse or other adult staff, would go and check on difficult child and see if she was ready to go back to class. If not, difficult child got 15 more minutes on timer. If still not ready, then I was called to come talk to her.(I only had to be called 2x, both when it was first started.) difficult child still has her safe place, and a go to person, in the office, but not the stuffed animal. Now she just draws or tears up paper. Her go to person is someone she trusts and will talk to. It has helped difficult child not retaliate physically against kids who are teasing her. Going to safe place could be initiated by difficult child or teacher. Not sure that will help, but just a thought. SaraT [/QUOTE]
