[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 18182, member: 1697"] Ironically, many parents fight tooth and nail to get an aide like this. BUT, while I had to fight to get one for my oldest, I definetlly would NOT like not having it be discussed FIRST. I know many many kids do benefit from having one.....for some kids it might be The Thing that permits the child to be able to make it thru a school day. Sadly....our experience was as far too many of our personal experiences. Our 1-1 aide was supposed to be for calming and reassuring my child so she could make it thru a day but instead, - somehow- the "job description" got ? messed up in translation from IEP meeting to practical application and instead of being a calming, reassuring, encouraging presence, our 1-1 aide became the biggest instigator of more difficulties. SO- if you do decide the 1-1 might be a positive thing for your child, be sure to make sure it is very clearly worded in the IEP the REASON why there is a 1-1 and have it spelled out VERY clearly what the 1-1 role is for your son. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
