[QUOTE="SRL, post: 376167, member: 701"] Hi Ivy, welcome to our forum. Sorry I didn't reply sooner--my computer has been down for three weeks so I've not been around as much as usual. I know there's a tendency for us to want our kids to try it on their own if they can, but I'm also of the mindset that a rotation of untrained parent volunteers probably isn't an ideal support for a child with Autism in kindergarten. The classroom is a way different world than being at home with parents or other caregivers translating the world to him and making accomdations as part of a lifestyl. Starting off with supports until he makes the transition, and then backing off from what isn't needed might make it easier on everyone, including your kiddo, his classmates, and the teacher. If he's attending a publicly funded charter school and the need for an aide is there, they have to find the money. That part isn't your problem. [/QUOTE]
