Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Leah, In my school, the kids are separated by grade level. The kindergartners are not allowed to play with the older kids. We only go to grade 3, so it is easy to give each group its own place to play and hangout. And we rotate each month so that no group is kept from any particular area. I also think that for now Olivia needs to have her aide by her side at all times. She is there to help Olivia and to ensure her safety. She should not, at this point, be allowing this behavior to go on. Once, as Debby said, the novelty wears off, the aide may be able to withdraw a bit at a time, but for now she needs the aide to protect her. I know your goal is to normalize Olivia at school as much as possible, but sometimes that is just NOT possible. There are certain situations where Olivia needs that support and help and this is one of them. So, that is my 2 cents' worth. Let me know if I can help further.
