[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 680108, member: 13260"] Morning all. Rough night with the boy (wanted to read all night, said he was having a hard time breathing) so we're both very tired. Pigless in VA, I work in Special Education, as well, as I think the idea was to find the balance between hovering and being a barrier to naturalistic communication between his peers, getting into a learned helplessness scenario, etc. They wanted the aide to be a "classroom helper" and support for the teacher and the first line when he needs to be invited to leave the classroom, move in close when he's getting frustrated with his in-school assignments (he has zero tolerance for frustration, so he'll stab his pencil into the desk, rip up the assignment, and generally cause disruption). He is already so stigmatized at that school and has to endure quite a lot of comments from other children, under their breath of course, but he can always hear. Kids can be awfully mean. The aide makes suggestions about going to a quieter place where he can stand up to do his work (which he quite likes), or a time away until he calms. As far as being on the playground, he has limited access to that. He does alternative recess by helping his old teacher help the first graders to read, at which he excels and really enjoys. There are times when I do think some of the incidents at school could have been avoided had there been closer supervision. It's a work in progress for sure, but we really like her, she has a wonderful heart, and she likes our boy. As for the sexual language, no doubt he learned much of it on the gaming sites, which is why we shut him down. He can do offline gaming things like Minecraft and such. Anytime he expresses an interest in a game, I go right onto common sense media and get reviews. But when he is on the internet, unless I'm standing right next to him, he will sneak off to where he isn't supposed to go. And he is VERY sneaky. [/QUOTE]
