Sep, You are an angel and my hero. My son has autism and he has it pretty good. Plus at one point my daughter was labeled with selective mutism, so we had both kids in Special Ed.

I enjoy working with those kids. They are great and I know that I can truly help them. I used to be a one on one with a non-verbal autistic boy. Before I worked with him he used to scream most of the day. The teacher at his elementary school could not get him to do work. I got hit on a daily basis by him. That was part of his disorder, but I taught him to verbalize or hand signal what he wanted and would not give in until he did. Within three months I had him doing the work of the other kids in the special ed class. I didn't push him so much, but offered rewards such as a little scooter that I would pull him up and down the hallway on. He loved it and worked for it. The other teachers were absolutely amazed at his progress. He moved out of our school and that is when I got the job in seventh and eight grade. The only difference with kids with special needs is the way that they process the information and communicate it back to you. You just have to figure out their learning style and move from there. I really do enjoy what I do.

I wish there were more people like you! Our girls go to a child care center that just got reaccredited with the NC 5 star accreditation and they have 60% of their children with disabilities of different levels. I have to admit that my girls benefit from an environment where they do not come first and have to understand why a girl in their class doesn't do things the same way they do. She is the cutest little girl ever and she has Downs Syndrome. Also one of teachers has a 16yr old autistic son and she and I sometimes have conversations about how she found out he had it, how he was first labeled with a wide array of *other* things than autism.
Anyways, I've got my girls home today (teachers day) so I have way too much time to type :)

I also want to thank you for the work you do. Being the mother of 4 with two having varied learning problems. My oldest son has language and processing difficulties. My youngest was a two lb premie and has language difficulties, speech, adhd and processing. The good new we got for her this yr is that she is now at grade level. Thanks to the wonderful teachers and special helpers she has had.
So keep up the good work.
