Often it is more difficult, but he really missed school and had a nice day over-all. His behaviors are usually not too intense, but he has no sense of time. Past, present, and future all run together so between the picture schedule and hopefully the social story, I hope to have him ready for an integrated kindergarten next Fall.

Oh good grief! that's what Thor's like and he's 5th grade. And he's not alone. I read an article somewhere that postulated that the increase of IEPs/diagnoses in boys was due to society deciding that "girl" behaviour is a more acceptable norm, so we are trying to make boys behave more like girls in the classroom. I brought up all of my kids the same -they all had dolls and cars and were dressed in bright colors (same clothes handed down). I was sure the behavioural differences between the genders were all bullshit. I was so wrong! My daughter is strong, confident, and independent, and my sons are sympathetic and not sexist, but you can sure tell the difference by their behaviours which one is which gender.

I ask because my wife just started this year as a school based substitute teacher in my son's elementary school. So she's been having all these random experiences with special needs kids as she moves from class to class in the school, and she's got no training at all (and isn't required to) for working with them. So she's been winging it, and mostly doing pretty well, but it's been exhausting at times. I was surprised there are so many kids who are on the spectrum at this school. Some of them seem to have staff in place there specifically to help them, and others don't. |

Glatt,
I did a color correction with the white paper as reference to get a better idea of what kind of wood that may be. If you are sure that the leaves of this tree resembled walnut then I would guess this is butternut, especially if the wood is somewhat woolly when you sand it. It also looks a little like cherry depending on how I balance it. It seems like it was shot under fluorescent light which is usually lacking in some of the wavelength of light so it is difficult to fully color correct it. Cherry tends to have small, very black pitch pockets, there appears to be a pitch pocket on the back of the top spoon. First guess would be butternut, tannish brown. Cherry, reddish brown, spicy smell, pitch pockets.

Butternut, eh? Well, it was a long time ago, but I figured it was walnut at the time, based on the leaves.
Here's butternut on the top and walnut on the bottom. Or maybe vice verse. Could very well be butternut then. |

In our district, it is a given that you bring a legal advocate with you to every IEP meeting, unless you are a brand new parent and don't know any better yet. |

I don't quite understand what holds the arrow on the shaft. Do you have component pictures?

Right now it is pinched in the slot of the arrow end, somewhat like an old fashioned clothes pin.
We (the inch and I) had to come up for supper before we could glue it in place with pitch. (Tree resin)

This is only my experience and it is limited to CPSE transition. I don't know how it plays out later.
