[QUOTE="caryatid, post: 103826, member: 4372"] Hello there! I'm a preschool/Kindregarten teacher, and your SS sounds like a few of my students last year. [img]:smile:[/img] You have all my sympathy in dealing with the diagnosis stage of things, we are there too. If I might offer some advice on dealing with the teachers? Be honest, express your concerns, and be open about discussing the diagnosis process/treatment, etc.. Engage them in helping your son. If there is one teacher that he will behave for, great! (Don't think of it as "only" one.) Talk to that teacher and try to encourage the bonding. My co-teacher and I try not to play favorites, but there are some kids that just click with us, and some that don't. The fact that Student-A is attached at my co-teacher's hip doesn't bother me any more than the fact that Student-B won't do any work for her, but will take lessons from me. RE: looking down their noses.... This is where the patience and honesty come in. Talk to them openly about the situation and engage them. If you haven't tried it, take a moment and say "Hey, thanks for all your patience with my SS. I know he is a handful, and we are working really hard on trying to help him. If you wouldn't mind, it would really be helpful if you could..." (chart good days, make note of when his behavior gets worse, etc...) Some of their frustration may come from a feeling of helplessness. If their attitude doesn't change, then you always have the option of going someplace else. You deserve to have your SS in a place that is safe, welcoming, and willing to communicate. [/QUOTE]
