I'm wanting to do more hands-on work with my kiddos. My kids are all Intellectually Disabled to some extent or another. I'm really interested in trying project-based learning. Anyone here have experience doing this?
Sensitively written and very thoughtful book about parenting child with autism. High marks for Accidental Teacher: Life Lessons from my Silent Son. A short insightful read from University of Michigan Press.
Has anyone on here ever heard of someone getting in trouble with claiming to write an iep and not doing it? We have edmin and it lists who was there at the meeting and the dates of the new iep and due dates of other stuff.

I'm not sure how someone could get away without writing it. Our IEP's have to go home for review 5 days before the meeting. That has never happened in our school.
I have a student 2nd grade with autism that spits. He seems to spit for a variety of reasons: to get a reaction, to avoid work, frustration. Anyone out there have any interventions that have worked to eliminate this behavior? Thanks

I have a spitter as well--1st grade. She spits for the same reasons. We have been using a behavior program called 1-2-3 Magic (or may be Magic 1-2-3) We also listed any behaviors that earn her an automatic 3----spitting is a 3. When she gets a 3 she is taken to a 'cool down room' (a room by herself where she doesn't have the ability to spit at us or other students) There are visuals for her to see that show -no spitting, hitting, kicking, nice hands, calm down, etc.

It's hard to say what will work without actually being there. The only thing I know for sure is that although it is a tough behavior to deal with, make sure your and your team know not to let the student see you make a big deal about it in front of him. Figure out a standard response (not words-- limited talking)from all of the adults and have everyone use that response. (Ex. redirect him to the work, give a favorite toy while not spitting, take it away for spitting, etc,)
Have you tried functional communication training? Teaching him phrases to say "I don't like that," or "I am done" or "I need a break." Honor his requests immediately at first, then honor them after 1 minute, 2 minutes 5 minutes ("Yes, you can have your break after we finish this last problem")
