So, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. We were able to arrange for a 1-1 paraprofessional for Kiddo to be included in general education last year. He HAS to have someone designated for him to keep him on task and remove him from the classroom if his behavior escalates. But, the level of dependence that he has now is ridiculous. He needs to be CONSTANTLY told what to do or not to do; he won't even eat without prompts (instead, he'll pretend his food is a helicopter, etc., and take hours to finish a meal--significant attention issues).
Has anyone had success with having a 1-1 for their child without making him/her so dependent? We are thinking about visuals to limit the verbal prompting from the para but need more ideas...
