[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - have they done an FBA? If not ask for one asap. [/quote]

I have one in his IEP but at this point I want him out of the environment he’s currently in because I know it’s too unstructured and at this point I want to overcorrect.  I watched him with his private OT and she wouldn’t let him get away with anything and he just gives up and works with her.  I’m hoping that’s a sign for how this will work in the SDC. I can always ask for them to do the FBS (or have it transfer when we move to wherever we head next.  I accompanied hi. On a field trip where he ran around like a maniac.  The teacher said to take him home bc he was sensory overwhelmed (she felt). I told him we were going and he immediately got in control.  My optimistic theory is he has a LD and he copes via avoidance.  And it’s spiraled out of control.  [/quote]

Running around like a maniac is a form of stimming.  This was DS’s with ASD/ADHD main form of stimming when he was 4/5.  For DS, it wasn’t due to sensory overload, the running around like a maniac helped him regulate himself and he usually felt better afterwards.[/quote]

It is sensory seeking behavior not avoidant.  OT should help.[/quote]
