My husband and I feel so blessed to have our sons in an awesome school. Our case conference last Thursday was wonderful. First of all, the school called the conference after I had talked with some of the special services staff regarding Brandon’s fear of swallowing and choking. There were 7 educators in attendance, and they were all very supportive in digging in and discussing his situation and suggesting interventions. We are working on some of the interventions. In the Stripling text the role of self-talk in the inquiry process was interesting to me because we’ve been use self talk to take Brandon through his challenges. I had never really thought about self-talk as a part of the inquiry process….this blog has provided with me with the opportunity to journal the steps I have taken in the process though.
While I am still wiggling, I am closer to weaving all of this together and feel so much better about the professional staff that my son has working for him. Even if there is no magic answer, I feel better as a mom.
The autism support group that I attended the same evening left me with several impressions too. I learned about Applied Behavioral Analysis offerings in the area and what they provide. Personally, I really wanted an opportunity to meet some people in similar situations and talk with them, but there really wasn’t an opportunity to do so at this meeting….maybe next time.
