[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Front of the room seating is not always ideal. You may want the teacher to have the judgment to place your child where they work best. Also, do you have a tactic for getting refocused, like touching on the shoulder or something like that. You can ask for examples to be given. We had things built in like giving my kid an errand a few times a day and frequent changes inWork stations (which is why front of the class seating isnt ideal for lots of kids). Mine was not required to work at a desk - could walk around, sit on the floor, sit in the hall, lay on the floor, whatever worked. [/quote]

Thank you! His school is pretty good overall at letting kids work where they want to, but that is something I can add in. That makes sense about seating. The touching on the shoulder is a great thing to add. Thanks for reminding me. I actually told his current teachers to do that and they say it works well.

I mainly want them to recognize when he gets overwhelmed. At the beginning of the year this year he would not understand what to do and would just crawl under the desk and rip up his paper. This was initially interpreted as defiant/aggressive behavior vs him just being overwhelmed and essentially panicking and shutting down. It is tough when we have subs because they tend to not know him, so they may yell and then he shuts down and cries :( I am sure I can't write in "please be gentle and kind" lol. [/quote]
