Kindergarten - Classroom routine goals

[Guest guest]

Hello Everybody,

My 6 year old son with Autism will be attending the Kindergarten next school

year and I am hoping he will be included in general ed with support. In our

county, we have only 3 hours of Kindergarten.

I came across some classroom routine goals that my son has difficulty with. Can

we include these in his IEP or are they worked on, as a part of Kindergarten

routine.

a. Works independently on non academic and academic activities.

b. Sits and waits appropriately during transitions.

c. Waits for turns to do activities.

d. Gets into the line and stays in the line , recognizing the

personal space.

e. Able to sit quietly and listen to the story attentively

without interrupting the class.

f. Raises his hand and answer the question

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Krishna

Hi Krishna,

Not sure if these skills are particular to a general ed Kindergarten program but

they (a typical public school) wouldn't be up to what evidence-based ABA more

definitively demands, and so if you can get an IEP that is more specific to the

ABA protocol (to teach what it is you, etc., feel should be taught, based on

where your son is at now and is capable of, of getting those steps to learning

right, for as much) you'd have more going for *progress* in that respect, where

you could get it, would be my sense of it.

ABA typically starts by dealing one-on-one (as with an aide or shadow?) with a

student (as where needed) and without an IEP in that respect I doubt you'd get

that, for starters, as important as that (of the necessary accomodations and

resources) usually is.

Go for what you can get, of all you can get, of value (where more/ABA is

typically better, as with having an IEP) based on what you need of the facts I

would recommend for any situation.

You might still need to get the facts (by your own efforts, of pushing for them)

from a psycho-educational assessment and whatever the school might require for

as much, as to your situation. You could ask the school what it would require

for as much, to be working on side with the school in that respect, which I

would advice you do where you would want your child to be properly (honestly,

perhaps) educated in such a school.
