[QUOTE="ksm, post: 698572, member: 12511"] Still no IEP? I don't have much to offer, but just to second the idea that he has a safe place to go to in the room, or in most places where he spends time at school. Like a special quiet place on playground, a corner of the lunchroom, and maybe a pop up tent or a place where other kids can't easily see him in the regular classroom. When I worked as a para we had a similar child and they made a small set of laminated cards on a key ring. There was probably 4 photos on it, and he could choose which place or thing to do. Like a book in the po up tent (it was only about 3x4', a small hammock that hung in an out of the way location, pick a quiet toy from a shoe box of "fidget" toys and the other photo was an the "isolation" room...a small walk in closet with padded walls. There was a window in the door and a light was on. A para had to stay in the room with him. If the child wouldn't pick a choice, then we would say "well, you don't want the tent, or the hammock, or a toy, so that must mean you want to go to the quiet room." He would shake his head but still wouldn't select an appropriate behavior. So we would say "XXX wants to go to the quiet room" when he wouldn't walk to the quiet room, we would say "do you want to walk to the room, hop or slide?" When he wouldn't go to the room we would then announce "XXX wants to slide to the quiet room". By this time or even before he would be lying on the floor refusing to get up. So the teacher and I would each hold an arm and physical drag, errrr "slide" him to the room. Then I would get to be battered by this child. He was 5. Acted nonverbal to the staff, but would occasionally use words with the other kids. I gave my notice two months in to the school year. I hated this job. But it was not safe for this child to be near the other kids. Things could be going well, kids playing, then he would bite someone and then laugh! He tried to pull down little girls pants, put his hands down my blouse, spit on people, throw chairs, try to stab or cut people with scissors during craft time. Luckily, it doesn't sound like your child has harmed other kids. If they do try medications, ask them if they can do the DNA testing to find the best medications for him. Make sure insurance will cover the test first. Good luck. KSM [/QUOTE]
