Whew! Just got to work from an IEP revision meeting at BB's school. Ugh! Poor boy. I wish it was easier for him. I wish I had a frame of reference so that I could tell him how to make this thing work for himself. Thank goodness for the team. They know things. They want to know more. I sit there with a half-blank look on my face. Just a lot to absorb. I should have recorded it on my iPhone. I took notes, but I wanted to listen, too - the notes, they are not so good!
Issues: needs pressure/seeking for sensory input, invades others' personal space, organization, anger, refusing to do work, participation
Triggers: writing, tests (reassurance), getting in line, emergency drills, seeks immediate attention from teacher
Solutions: small group for testing, written and posted schedules, digital timer, keyboard use w/word prediction software added to IEP, sensory area to include cooldown (?) area, give him choices, whole classroom schedule, schedule sensory time around trigger subjects, more social stories
Summer Activities: YMCA Summer Day Camp or Kid's Country Summer Program, probably YMCA
I will do everything I can for this boy! I feel like I haven't done enough. I will be doing much more. This is a loving caring kind boy who needs help to get through school.
I think we need to see a child psychologist for the anger/frustration issues. It's not all behavior - however, if we can work on that together, then he might not be angry and/or frustrated. He has to have anger or resentment issues regarding his family being torn apart by me and adding sister, etc.
My baby will be happy and have success for himself!
