[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have personally witnessed a poor child having a meltdown at a therapist and two adults were needed to chase the child down.

When you are dealing with multiple children even if only one has SN there are so many possibilities. If the child needs to go to the ER who is watching the other kids especially if they are preschoolers or younger? If a child needs to be restrained, who is watching the other kids? If a child elopes can you leave the others alone? These might be blue moon scenarios for NT kids but for some children with special needs this may happen a few times a week or a few times per day. It's a really hard question. I don't know how I would deal.[/quote]

As a single parent of a child that has had all of those scenarios you manage.  Both kids go with you to the ER.  One child sits with an admin while you chase the melting child.  The other kids end up having to witness the restraint.  It’s not pretty but it is possible.[/quote]

There's suddenly an "admin" who is magically available at your home to help you as you chase your other child who has run into the street and is having an autistic meltdown?[/quote]
