[QUOTE="SRL, post: 345629, member: 701"] Good work, Shari! I're sure you feel like you need about a 6 month vacation--alone--right about now! I'm very relieved that they didn't fight you on the manifestation issue. That would have made everything difficult. This sounds like a good starting point--a quieter, more therapeutic, controlled environment. I hope that they have all the para holes plugged so that he will be covered for recessed and lunches. Janet's idea of using a menu of choices sounds like a good one. I've seen it work with small laminated cards on a ring and the child shows the one to the teacher that fits the situation. We used this system with cards ranging in increasing order--ie I need a classroom break with para, I need a classroom break with snack (Mom should stock fridge with snacks and half cans of soda or juice), I need a classroom break with exercise, I need a break in the office, I need to call home, I need to go home. It helps give the child some measure of control over the situation, and helps them to build skills of recognizing and anticipating instead of having to react when it's too late. It also puts a plan in place so if regular staff isn't there, there's no floundering around. [/QUOTE]
