That way, you can have access to a broad-range of information about self-regulation for children on the spectrum, along with someone to talk to who is also familiar with local resources that can help you and your child. - Mae I would start with the Occupational Therapist on staff at your child’s school and/or visit your special school district’s parent/resource library.

Intuitively I realized that Connor gets tired mid-week (I ask him to be my helper when I volunteer in the classroom and then we leave a few minutes early on those days), but I've never put anything formal in place. Thanks to you, I now plan to work out an arrangement with the teacher to pick Connor up when it seems like he's 'had enough.' -Mae Thanks for the great tips, Hollie!

It is a spot for her to go and get focused. 2. for us if having a rough day I would take her home early, sometimes for her the day was simply too long. For us what works for Roo are two things.

My son went berserk because he just can't stand it when anyone touches him or anything of his. He has slowly gotten better about this, but it is something that really bothers him.
