To write a manual on how to handle DS1

[LynetteScavo]

His teacher is "on her knees" by Friday afternoon, and has asked (in a round about way)for tips on who to handle him.

FFS

What is sad and stupid is to act as if a child is either SN or not when actually a child can have issues that make coping at school very difficult but which are not severe enough to be categorised as a specific Special Need.

But why don't you, who know fuck all about sensitivity issues, just keep on throwing rude remarks out at those who actually know something about it.

interesting to see roneef accusing others of jumping to conclusions....

as far as I am aware the OP did not put in her post that her ds was badly behaved because not sufficiently disciplined, nor did she add anything that might have led us to form that conclusion on our own

you jumped to that conclusion, roneef

pots, kettles and all that sort of thing...

It might show a lack of sensitivity, pagwatch.

Whatever, you are deliberately misunderstanding me.

I think op is bu.

I don't care what you think pagwatch. You sound very arrogant and I cannot be arsed to deal with your venom. See a counsellor if it's that bad.

Bye.

Hey Pagwatch i don't think your on Roneef's xmas card list

Jezz, roneef - is this necessary ?

Lynette - If I were a teacher i would appreciate tips on how to handle certain issues - for the benifit of your son, and the class.

@ roneef. I notice you havn't offered any constructive advice on how to dicipline my DS.

Thanks for explaining SPD for me, Pagwatch. I feel were so closely bonded now, we're almost like sisters!

roneef the teacher asked for tips in how to deal with him.

lynette isnt being self indulgent.

you are being incredibly harsh.

is roneef a reg poster?

Lynette, has anyone done a Sensory Profile for your DS? An OT could do it.

No, he hasn't. How would I get an OT to do that?

I've seen roneef around before but I don't remember on what type of thread.

He/she was just as rude offensive unhelpful as on this thread.

thanks beachcomber, i had wondered if someone had just decided to be a wa*ker today but it appears they are on most days.

You could ask for a referral, & mention sensory issues. DD had one done this week. I was given a questionnaire.

Questions included e.g. "Avoids going barefoot on grass/sand" "Reacts badly to sudden noise" "Dislikes bright lights" - 125 questions in all. You rate each question with always, frequently, occasionally, seldom or never. Each answer gets a score & it is fed into a matrix, which gives a score for different categories. The OT can see whether your child has 'typical performance' 'probable difference' or 'definite difference' for each sense/category.

Strategies can be as simple as deep pressure massage.

Was that on the NHS, lou?

Yes. Our OT has been coming to see DD at preschool around once each half term or so. She gave me the questionnaire, then came out to see me and talk through my answers. She then phoned me to say that having scored it (the scoring process is indepth & complex) DD scored 'definite difference' in many areas. This info is going forward as part of DDs statement report.

I am feeling bonded Lynette. I think the thread has ended up being quite helpful so let us know how you get on with your DS.
we had DS2s issues confirmed but an OT. We went privately but she was worth it as she gave us some really helpful tips and insight into helping him cope in situations.

I am happy too that I got a whatever from roneef. It explains so much.

I would be happy to get some counselling if I thought it would help. But I don't see twat identification as requiring a remedy

Lynette the OT and I just completed a sensory profile for my son yesterday hes 15 and the it really explained a lot of things that have been happening over the years she did say there was a lot of issues when he was younger as he's out grown some problems but when he was younger OT was only interested in co-ordination and motor skills but she's quite annoyed as she says this is just as important my son needs deep pressure to feel safe and doesn't like clothes.

PMSL @ Pagwatch!

That's interesting boarderlass. Off to google OT's!
