Had a meeting with ds (Hfa and epilsey) teacher and SENCO, been having a few worries with him at school, him running off, hiding in the toilet, saying kids are attacking him and retaliating, messing stuff up in the class room, tearing down his pictures for example. He gets v.v. upset his told off. The teacher has clearly been shaken by his meltdowns, not knowing how to handle them. But I appreciate she is spending time trying to resolve this.
So I come up with some ideas, a few from here probably, as we did not think the IEP was enough. Support in the subjects he does not like. Shorter playtime, positive reinforcement, a reward bag of his stuff if succeeds etc. the teacher and I agreed on ideas and were happy, she would have to run by a few things though. Also she agreed to a communication book.
At no point did the SENCO say anything or in fact do anything during the meeting. Ds was in the room, it lasted nearly an hour, at no point did she try and engage with ds either and build a repore with him, or see what he enjoyed. No research or social stories bought out, 5point scales, behaviour stuff. Oh but she did contact SALT and autism outreach, I can see she was pleased with this, but that was weeks ago.
I thought she might of had a bit of understanding about the conditions, ideas over the years to what might work. Oh I asked about an Ed psych being involved and apparently ds is not bad enough yet, I guess until he really starts self harming or attacking kids, and disrupting the class even more.
