In Gr 4, it was put into his IEP. Social, communication, behaviour and transitions all of a sudden got dealt with. There has never been any academics on his IEP.<br /><br />My son has severe claustrophobia. Without the Adderall and Strattera his anxiety and hypersensitivity are unbearable for him and us. Puberty has been hard on my eldest.<br /><br />But finally, with this legislation and the school realizing that it wasn't a huge amount of work but the gains were extrordinary in the classroom - he's still high maintenace at home - they are 150% on his side. These last 2yrs we have fully become a team and I truly believe that even with all the Union crap that's going on has to do with the admin and the Teacher (he has last years and is in a split for the first time since Gr 3).<br /><br />Team work... huge.<br /><br />Anxiety... impossible to cope, learn, function.<br /><br />They have to learn to deal with it. Mine has a locker beside the classroom door. Mine has a cubicle when he wants to get away from his desk - more elbow room - claustrophobia. Mine can finish his homework in the library. Mine has headphones for when it's too loud. Mine is always first in line - claustrophobia - and carries something - sensory. Social skills - token system - working on issues that I'm also having at home.<br /><br />Little things, but together have made a huge difference to his success at school.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
