Re: How to help with self-regulation ... strategies used

[Guest guest]

When my son was in 3rd grade the school OT went into his class and introduced

the Alert program to the entire class. It helps kids learn how to self regulate.

It was mainly for my son but it helped all the kids. Here's a link.

to do. What have you tried? Thanks.

My son does this all the time. He gets frustrated and shuts down. We have put in

his IEP that assignments are broken down into smaller tasks and he is to be

given visual concrete examples. This takes a lot of the guess work out of

assignments and he gets less frustrated. Maybe you could ask for these

accommodations. Also teach him how to ask for help before he gets frustrated.

Just some quick thoughts.

Thank you ne,

We have just moved into this school so we are just starting the IEP process.

ly, I don't know at this point what to ask for in his IEP when we get down

to it. I'm not used to the way the public school system is because our son had

been in a private school system all is life until he got his diagnosis last year

and then all kinds of behaviors came out. I'm starting to research now what I

can ask for and what should help our son function better in the classroom.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Has the school done a complete evaluation on him. Often based on that you can

determine where his weaknesses are as well as strengths. Also I would recommend

going to wrightslaw.com there is a lot of information there and to get the books

" From Emotions to Advocacy " and " All about IEPs " Unfortunately you'll have to

get smart on this quick so you can best advocate for you son. I don't mean to

sound like doom and gloom but take it from most of us, the more knowledge you

have about this stuff the whole lot better off you'll be. Good luck and don't

hesitate to ask questions this group is great in giving good advice.

We just completed this process as well. It was very difficult to navigate

through. I found a group here on that was quite helpful it's called

IEP_guide.

Good luck.
