Definitely see if you can sit in during a session with the speech language therapist if you’re wondering about communication. If you’re working at a school that is.
Yes i am its a big behavior school but alot more disabled kids an autism and down syndrome
@teetw0608, speech therapist are the communication experts but each area of expertise is so helpful. For example occupational therapist help with sensory needs and can have a huge impact on behavior. Social worker can work on the behavior too. They all would definitely appreciate you asking questions! It’s always hard in the beginning but I would just observe them as much as possible since each person is different and different things can help their behavior and learning styles.
Speech comes to our room. They're helpful. They tell u what to do w them speech wise.
Did they have you take an safety classes or informational meetings? I think that is key when working with any children. I would ask your supervisor about them, they prob offer them for free.
No and honestly with some of these kids i feel like u need to be a bit trained but i just kind of assist the teacher and ask questions
I work w special needs kiddos. Autistic kiddos daily. We use pecs or pictures to communicate or I just talk to them. Understanding cues is big. U will get the hang of it as u go along. If they're hitting say nice hands and show them so I rub their hands. I have a student who scratches and he's learning daily to get better w his hands. There are things u can do but be patient and protect urself. Hopefully u get training.
I really want to i downloaded an app to show me how to sign an say certain things i ask questions an just try to remember that they communicate different. They can be the sweetest kids to
@teetw0608 yes go on youtube and learn basic signs. Be patient. U will get the hang of it. I've been doing this for 8 years and my kiddos are so comfortable w me now. U will get there
I just recently started baby sitting a little baby who has down syndrome and I went to the book store and bought myself books so I could educate myself better. Maybe see if someone local has books for sale or maybe a mommy playdate where moms with children with disabilities can get together and share experiences and answer questions?
Thank you . These kids can be so misunderstood so the biting and hitting its not the easiest to deal with but i know its not always their fault
I see alot of my kids biting and rocking which i guess its them stimming
