sounds like at least movement forward. We have some good behavior people here too...
One thing that is done in our district, the behavior (we have a team and it includes a specially trained aide who knows their procedures and attends behavior workshops etc.) team uses their people to train the in school team. so for the aide, she should receive a certain amount of specific training not the general aide training, with the cool behavior chick as a person to come daily to do maybe 1-2 hours for a week and then fade it or some other consistent and predictable schedule (for difficult child's sake). Then add her to the 504 (hopefully an IEP later) to say she can be called any time there is a behavioral concern. True trained, good behavior people look at behavior as just behavior, they dont get all emotional about it, dont judge it, just see how it is affecting the child in his environment and work to help remediate skills and develop appropriate behaviors. An aide easily can get sucked into the frustraton of the staff around them if they do not have good trianing. husband is so right.
