[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 200642, member: 2005"] Just an update, M continues to attend the shorter 2 1/2 hour program. He now goes in the morning with his sister. It is an inclusive classroom with the same supportive teacher from last year and a very warm and nurturing aide. A sp ed teacher spends some time in the room but not the whole time. He gets speech 3 x's, Occupational Therapist (OT) and Pt 1 x a week. I also take him to outside speech 1 x for an hour and outside Occupational Therapist (OT) 1 x for an hour as well. He is happy to go to school...unless he sees the other teacher from last year, then he will act up. I've asked him about it and I guess there was a child in the other room that would yell and growl and that scared him along with the chairs with the trays. His speech is improving. He talks more at home, still hard to understand. He has alot of sensory trouble, tends to be a sensory seeker. His Occupational Therapist (OT) said he takes the hardest pressure that she has ever seen. His neurologist keeps telling me she just thinks it is the speech holding him back but I'm not sure. His Occupational Therapist (OT) says she thinks it is just the sensory stuff, that he "has it in there" He shows alot of signs for High-Functioning Autism (HFA) but he does have decent eye contact, he will clap and show you his accomplishments, has a great sense of humor and he interacts with the other kids. My concerns would be his difficulty with transitions, obsessions, temper tantrums, sensory stuff, language delays, he prefers to not talk, just this evening he comes up to me and touches me and points down so I can see that he has my shoes on (no words). He is constantly asking me if I am happy when he sees me smiling or if I am mad when I am scolding any of the kids, like he is trying to make it make sense to him. He likes to repeat things but not to a level that I would expect with autism but he is drawn to music and has a very good memory. He knows the words to quite a few songs. I am concerned that he has High-Functioning Autism (HFA) but so high that he will never get diagnosed. I am open for ideas. [/QUOTE]
