Recess Accommodations
Do any of you with elementary aged kids have IEP accommodations for recess? Jesse is six and is starting to get in trouble at recess. It is just too much for him - sensory overload. He is active and needs an outlet and recess is important, but not sure of any steps to take. Thanks.

The Kids Who Beat Autism
By RUTH PADAWERJULY 31, 2014
At first, everything about L.'s baby boy seemed normal. He met every developmental milestone and delighted in every discovery. But at around 12 months, B. seemed to regress, and by age 2, he had fully retreated into his own world. He no longer made eye contact, no longer seemed to hear, no longer seemed to understand the random words he sometimes… read more

Tips For Handling Behavioral Issues At Home Of A Child With Mild Autism
My 5 year old son was recently diagonsed with mild Autism. His opportunities are social interaction & some sensory.

He's currently receiving Speech & O.T services weekly. At school is his very well behaved & the teachers have no issues with him. But, at home it's another story.

This doesn't seam like nearly enough time. I just want to make sure if we do it, it's done right. Any advice?
Thanks for the info. I don't even know what behavior we should be addressing, because the school is stonewalling me as to what is actually happening in the school. So complicated. He's doing well in… read more
