[QUOTE="buddy, post: 471521, member: 12886"] Hi, I have often said my kid was like having multiples....but to have multiples EACH of whom is like having multiples...WOW. Your feelings are so normal and I do think having a sp. ed background makes me feel like I should be able to handle things better...but kids in school we only see for a short time....we do our best but it is not the day in and day out battles about every single thing in every single setting. The parents here are experts in this. I feel blessed to have found them and I hope you do too. Even though you do not have an official diagnosis, you know some of those tools you use with your Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids in the school setting and that you recommend to parents at home? They are being found to work so great even in EBD settings. Use the picture schedules, and social stories etc. for brushing teeth, bath time, transitions, etc. It is a lot of work to get it all pulled together (if you haven't already been doing this, sorry if you have just ignore me, smile). ....anyway it is so worth it. I used to bring a picture schedule and simple pictures of what to do to McDonalds play land, parks etc....so I could just point to the picture in the middle of an uncomfortable situation. (and by then my kiddo was fully verbal, but still responds better with little verbal input and more visual) I hope as you find support you will feel free to share some of your ideas with us that you have used! It really helps us all. I ditto getting onto private evaluations and maybe doing some Occupational Therapist (OT) and SLT if the qualify in the private sector. Really can make a difference. I always did both school and private therapies for my son. Glad you are here, wish I could come and babysit for you to give you respite! [/QUOTE]
