[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 322081, member: 3419"] Whatamess, I've read that when Tourette's people are older, they can learn to control their tics, often with-the help of medications. I don't know if that would work for a 12-yr-old, though. What the teacher did with-the noises sounds like what I do with-my difficult child! The problem is, it's an ongoing thing, and she'll have to remind him several time a day or several times a week. At this point, it's just a learning process for him, and I don't know how controlled he can be. It's a LOT of hard work. In regard to the role playing, I wonder why they are using two teachers, instead of reversing the role playing. Our therapist pretends he's a kid and has difficult child be the therapist. Kids LOVE things like that. They think it's fun and funny. Then the therapist says, "So, what do you think you should do in your situation, now that we've done this?" Do the teachers follow through like that? I'm thinking that may be more of a therapist thing instead of a teacher thing, but then, if they're trained in Special Education, maybe that's the "in" thing. I agree with-emotionallybankrupt, that this should be a team effort. There is a disconnect between you and the teachers and you need to work together on this. After reading all these notes, maybe it will help you put your finger on what exactly bothers you about it and what might be benefitted from it, and you can meet with-them and come up with-constructive ideas.
