People can aide and care for those who need the consistency and care of a p... |

| Hi, Good for you for advocating for your son with a private consultation since the school has its own financial and time constraints. You are your child's best advocate. My rule of thumb has always been to try to keep your child's teachers and administrators on your side. Ask for more input from the... |

| In my kindergarten classroom, I teach my students a couple rules to follow to keep everyone safe. It's worked with my asperger student as well. One is "no contact".

I have great reservations because of his past issues with his old child care teacher. When he had meltdowns he kicked her, (she showed me the bruises) broken her jewelry and ru... |

I know I'm asking a question instead of answering, but I'm an NT teacher who's preparing for an incoming Aspie student in the fall. What is the best way to support someone w... |
