| when you quiz your child at home about what they are working on at school before assessment time and his answers are 100% correct at home. But at school he just blurts out whatever answer he can come up with just so they will leave him alone because it may be repetitive to him? Needless to say his p... |

Has anyone ever given this to your DC? If so, how did it affect your DC?
Our behavioral pediatrician recommended we give DS half a calms forte before he goes to school to help him focus and stay on task better.
TIA!

| IMPORTANT POINT: if you haven't formally requested that your son's IEP or 504 or status be shared with anyone who wasn't at the meeting, it won't be. It doesn't matter if there are accommodations that can't happen if the teachers don't know about it. They should have explained this to you: it's a b... |

| Thanks everyone for your input. SC, I think you hit the nail on the head. We are going to observe him during PE on Friday and see how he is doing. The problem with his school is that during the IEP meeting they basically ignored his medical diagnosis of ASD that also includes SPD, and hypotonia. His... |

| I don't have much advice as my son is only 5 years old but he does love to play with his Nintendo DS all the time. We do take away his privilege to play his DS and have him earn it back by being a good helper around the house. Little chores or his homework assignments. Right now this works for our 5... |

| My 5 year old is currently in Kindergarten and has classic ASD and is HFA. He is mainstreamed in a class of around 20-21 students and has been doing better with listening and following directions. He has an IEP for speech alone because his school didn't put his medical diagnosis in his IEP (but that... |

| My DS' physical therapist suggested we buy him a tight fitting long sleeve shirt to wear underneath his clothes to help him with self regulating. The kind that's made by sports brands like Under Armour or Nike. The thing is, we live here in GA and it is hot and humid. But I definitely plan on using ... |

| Momofboys, I read this for my own sake as I have no experience here. I think all is good except that I see a red flag: Student will provide visual eye contact to show his teacher he is listening. I am understanding that AS kids cannot provide visual eye contact and listen at the same time. Encourag... |

| Did you shorten the goal statements or translate them from IEP-speak in to plain english? My son (also in kindergarten) has a similar goal that is written this way: I actually copied them directly from the IEP draft that we have here. They will send the final IEP home with DS this week as some 1s a... |

| We just had my son's IEP meeting for Kindergarten. He started back in August and is doing academically very well, however there are behavior concerns. He just had a state and district assessment done and they were all 3s which means he is meeting the standards. He only had a 2 for identifying positi... |

| Your son sounds like how my 5 year old was as a toddler. He's 5 now and has had speech therapy since he was 3 years old. He did not start speaking in full sentences until maybe a year ago and even now he still has problems with his speech and I know this is bothering him. We moved to a different sta... |

| I'm a NT mom and my son has ASD. One of the things that I don't understand is how his brain works or how he is able to remember this so well or maybe I'm just really slow? For example, at school they have sight word boxes with 40+ sight words in them. My son can read but by no means is he a fluent r... |

He absolutely loves it, talks about his friends and he is a very outgoing, friendly, and spunky kid. He's a child who initiates a conversation when you first m... |

I emailed the special education specialist at his school and asked about an evaluation since we were told that the district wants to do that too. I would suggest requesting that he b... |
