Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 My son's kindergarten class was only 3.5 hours a day...how long is his class that he can be out of the class for 2-3 hours and still be a 'member' of that classroom? And RSP in kindergarten? I've never ever ever heard of that! Stress can cause potty training relapses...get him some pullup to get through this transistional period...don't put a lot of empathsis on the potty issues, but see if you can get him fewer transistions out of the class. Seriously, Regular kindergarten with an IEP, they can modify ANYTHING in kindergarten to an IEP WITHIN the class without pull outs...so if he were my kid (this is IF HE WERE MY KID, so you don't have to do what I would do) I would cancel the resource, and make sure the OT/Speech hour is at the end of the school day so he doesn't have to transisiton out of class there then transition back in. Right now this is what I see from your email: transitoin TO school Transition TO Resource Transisiton back to class FROM Resource transistion to speech transition to OT and any transisions back to class after that. Do you transistion 6 times to different places in your job? I do within a 8 - 10 hour day, but I'm old! Also, see if there are any local parents who have been there done that in your district, their insight into what 'can' happen is a huge asset, also ask if your district has an inclusion specialist and definately make sure that person is on your IEP team if so!! Report back how he's doing! , Mom to 13, DS, Southern CaliforniaTo succeed in life,you need three things:a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.~ Reba McIntyre Diagnosis Down Syndrome: A Site of Hope for New Parents or Parents with a Prenatal Diagnosishttp://www.leeworks.net/DDS/What to Say to Parents of a Child with a Diagnosishttp://www.leeworks.net/DDS/speech.html Need Advice/Help My grandson, Noah, is 7 and just completed the third week of kindergarten.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 When was in kindergarten (he is in 3rd now) - he went to the Gen Ed Kindergarten class in the AM, ate lunch with the 1st graders and then attend the Special Needs class in the afternoon (therapies were done in the afternoon) so even though our district only has 1/2 day kindergarten he was there all day. This gave him the benefit of the Gen Ed classroom for the full-time, the 1-to-1 the resource room gave him and the therapies outside of the time he was to be in the Gen Ed class.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Debbie, Constipation causes incontinence big time. The over sized bowel simply does not allow room for the bladder to fill up. It's not uncommon for a previously trained child to loose control when ill or stressed. had an accident this week at school too. Made it the bathroom, but didn't get her pants off in time. Oh well ;-) Life goes on. :-) Sounds like Noah has a LOT on his plate right now. New baby, new school routine, sick. That's enough to send anyone over the edge. I would give it time, lots of love and encouragement. Can you give Noah some one on one time? His mom has to be a bit stressed out at the moment too. Things will calm down as the school year moves on.With regards to school- has anyone gone there to observe first hand what is going on? At this point I would 'blame' the wetting on the other issues, but if things don't calm down, I would be at school watching for any problems. Wetting may be his way of saying this is not working. stayed in her kdgr classroom with out any pull outs, but she also went to Early Childhood in the morning and that is where she received her therapy and one on one. Sounds like they are trying to talk you out of full inclusion one hour at a time! Is he in all day kdgr? That would make a difference for the pull outs, but I agree with they should be able to accommodate him in kdgr with no problems. Does he have an aide? 's aide helped her at her seat, so it was one on one, but IN the classroom.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Did you chelate the metals/toxins out of him? Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with SprintSpeed [ ] Need advice/help My 4 year old son dx global apraxia/dyspraxia, recovered from autism (officially lost diagnosis last October) has started perseverating on time. He asks " What time is it? " all the time. He used to meet people, shake their hand and tell them his name and converse with them somewhat. Now he asks them " What time is it? " He also is always spewing out numbers. I will try to ask him how his day went at developmental preschool and he will say something like: " Hmmm, we did art, writing, it's gonna be 1,000 10 525 tomorrow. It's gonna be 2,000 percent tomorrow. And 19 23 57. " He does the same thing when he answers the phone. Until three weeks ago he'd say " Hello. I'm TJ. I'm playing with my (name a toy here). Here's mom. Good Bye! " Now it's " What time is it? It's 100 26 9 56. Tomorrow it will be 5,028 degrees. Goodbye. " He runs to look at clocks all of the time at home. He comes in from swimming in the pool just to see what time it is about every five minutes. It's the worst case of obsessive/compulsive behavior I have personally ever seen. Has anyone ever had this kind of perseveration before? I have tried to redirect his attention, get him interested in all kinds of things, all to no avail. Evidently, he does not do this clock and number THING at school because they were clueless when I mentioned it. Should I schedule him back with his psychologist again? Do kids you recover from autism go back? Thank you for any clues, ideas, or just encouragement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
