[quote=Anonymous]Hi, My 4 year old DS with ASD has had a lot of changes this year. We moved in August, he started a new school last week. He's in a mixed inclusion classroom (both special needs and nurotypical) with two teachers, and two aides. He says he loves school, is happy to get on the bus and happy when he gets off. He has been in school for two years, so this nothing new, but the class is bigger than previous years.

He has a very hard time with transitions and things that are not preferred activities.

Today his teacher called me and said he was kicking, hitting and slapping the teachers and asking to go home. She said it was just an FYI and they don't want us to worry (they why call?) but I'm not sure what to do. He doesn't kick, slap or hit us at home, or when he's with other adults/authority figures. He has been in school for just over a week, so it could most definitely be a transition issue.

She said if it continues, they will add some behavior supports into his IEP. We asked him about it when he got home and he said he wasn't having a good day because it was cloudy and he wanted to come home. I flat out told the teacher I wasn't sure how to handle this because he doesn't do these things at home and we don't see this behavior. Frankly, we have no idea what to do. I also feel bad for the teacher because she is really caring and very supportive and the last thing she needs is my kid slapping her.

I'm wondering if he had a really off day today or not. And, if this continues, what kind of therapy do we seek for him? [/quote]
