[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the post with the IEP and impulse issues... Can you say more?  My child has same and current school isn't doing well with it.  Can you tell me how Cleveland treats your child and what they do in the classroom to set him up for success?[/quote]

Though there are about 17 kids in his class, they do a lot of small group activities.  Routine is also very important for him, and the classroom routine is very structured (i.e. while the learning and "play" themes change, the transition routine stays the same from day to day).  He is allowed "breaks" when he just can't self-regulate.  During these times he is allowed to do some other activity that maintains his focus, like shape/color sorting, bead stringing, practicing cutting with scissors.  His teachers do not regard his behavior as bad or disruptive, they simply redirect him and try to regain his focus.

This doesn't mean that he does not have to follow rules and is excused from activities that require attention and concentration, but his teachers make an effort to give him extra time for transitioning and completing his assignments, less assignments and repetitive direction.  They are also addressing some of the social implications of his self-regulatory issues by having him do arts/crafts and creative play with kids that are not in his class.

When he attended Preschool, he had both OT and SLP once/week (private). His IEP is for OT 1 hr/month, SLP 1 hr/month (outside of classroom), so we thought we would have to supplement with private .  However,  at Cleveland, he usually gets SLP 1/week and OT at least 3X/month so there is no need to do private and we save both time and money.
