[QUOTE="joneshockey, post: 454510"] I can agree with those of you who have said mainstreaming IS NOT for every child... I am a 1st grade teacher and work for a highly impoverished community. I have had Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) students "mainstreamed" into my classroom with little to no assistance from aides or the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) teacher. It can be EXTREMELY tough to handle a child whom is climbing ontop of tables, throwing things and spitting while trying to teach a class of 26 other students. I am currently in one of these situations where the child is supposed to recieve 2-3 hours of support within my classroom each day, where I believe I have had about 2 hours of support in the past 2 WEEKS total! HELLO... talk about being in violation of the child's IEP! When I have confronted the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) teacher about it she blows me off using the excuse that she is short 1 childcare worker... HELLO, when she has a ratio of 3:1 right now with 2 adults in the room and I am sitting at 27:1 - I don't have any sympathy :( [/QUOTE]
