[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 459963"] My difficult child 1 can have anxiety over school. He ran out of the building a few times last year trying to go home. The way his schools have handled it has been to have one person (you need a new person) that he trusts to gently hold him back. They didn't even use any holds, just an arm around his shoulders. Sometimes all it takes is them getting between him and the door so they don't have to hold him at all. They also schedule something fun (computer time) right after school starts. Plus, he has a safe spot he can go to with his person. So, instead of running to home he can go to a safe spot. I've also made a card that he can carry in his pocket that has all the steps he is going to do right after he gets to school. We can repeat those steps over and over as we go to school. The aide also knows all the steps and has a copy of the card so she takes over reminding him of the steps as soon as we get there. It also helps to have someone besides me bring him to school. Good luck and welcome! [/QUOTE]
