1) I\u2019m sorry. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be saying this to many of you many, many times over the next 10 years. I will say this to you probably weekly, if not more. And I really am. I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry because I am the reason you have my child in your class. I fought for him to be mainstreamed because all of the doctors and specialists told me that being in the least restrictive environment among peer models would be best for my son\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry because I know that you aren\u2019t trained for this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry because I know you\u2019ll have 25 kids in your class, all with different academic and social and behavioral abilities and you\u2019re going to have to pay special attention to my son.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry because you are going to have to deal with his behaviors.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry for every day he acts out or hurts another child or melts down in your classroom.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry because I don\u2019t have all the answers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) I am my child\u2019s advocate. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Before I even knew what autism really was, I was directed to the IDEA and told to fight, fight, fight.<\/p>\n

Before I fully comprehended what perseveration was and what stimming was and what near senses were, I was in meetings with the school, huge binder in hand, the IDEA printed and 3-hole punched and highlighted.<\/p>\n

And I fought. I got what the experts said my child needed, but I got it at the expense of relationships with the school.<\/p>\n

I also realized that a collaborative relationship was much more advantageous to me and the school and my son than a contentious one. Yet, I still advocate. My son is going to be in this system for a long time, and I want all of us to work together for his best interests. If that fails, I can fight. I\u2019d rather not. I would much rather work with you.<\/p>\n

3) IEP Meetings SUCK! <\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be there alone on behalf of my son.<\/p>\n

Seven or eight people from the school system will be there on behalf of the school.<\/p>\n

You will all go around the table and tell me all the ways that my son is lacking. You will tell me that his motor skills are poor, and his pencil grasp isn\u2019t the proper tripod. You will tell me that he is impulsive, annoys the other kids, and has a hard time paying attention. You will tell me that he talks when he\u2019s not supposed to and won\u2019t keep his hands to himself. Everyone will tell me all of the negative things about my child.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the purpose of the IEP Meeting. It is meant to define the areas of deficiency so that a plan can be made to deal with, work with, and accommodate my son.<\/p>\n

I will, once again, tell you \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d I will walk out of that meeting the same way I walk out of every IEP meeting: in tears and feeling defeated\u2014which is honestly the last thing a parent with a special needs child needs help feeling. We feel defeated and helpless and sad every single day.<\/p>\n

Next time you participate in an IEP Meeting, tell the parents the good stuff, too. In turn, let them tell you the amazing things about their child. We know about the problems. We really need to hear the victories.<\/p>\n

4) I am not excusing <\/em>my child\u2019s behavior; but, there are reasons <\/em>for his behavior. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how many times I have heard, \u201cYou\u2019re such a great mom. We\u2019re so glad you\u2019re not one of those who always blame your child\u2019s behavior on his disability.\u201d Do you know what that does to me?<\/p>\n

There is a reason that he did what he did. I would like to explain it to you so that you can be aware of the underlying issue and help him avoid it next time\u2014but I can\u2019t, because you will view my explanation as an excuse for his behavior. So, \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d is what I\u2019ll say, and I\u2019ll say it again tomorrow because you won\u2019t let me tell you how to make sure the behavior doesn\u2019t happen tomorrow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) I don\u2019t know why. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYour child stabbed another child in their hand with a toothpick on the bus. Why did he do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour child started pushing other children in the lobby of the school while waiting to be dismissed to his classroom. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know!<\/p>\n

I need you to tell me more. I need to talk to my child. I will need to ask him the same question in several different ways to make sure he understands what I want to know. I\u2019ll need to probe.<\/p>\n

You can do this too, you know. It takes time and I\u2019m sorry, because I know you\u2019re busy\u2014but together we can figure it out.<\/p>\n

Why did my child stab the kid on the bus with a toothpick? The other kid told him to do it. I\u2019m sure the other child was kidding\u2014but my child is incredibly literal. He will believe anything you say. He will take you at your word. His thinking is concrete. He won\u2019t distinguish any social nuances, and he will be confused when he gets in trouble because he was just doing what he was told to do.<\/p>\n

Why was he being aggressive in the hallway? He was in the middle of a huge, loud, overwhelming, sensory overloading group. Let him wait somewhere else and you won\u2019t see these behaviors. So I don\u2019t always know why\u2014but we can figure it out together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6) I want to communicate with you. I want you to communicate with me. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Often. A lot. As much as possible. This brings us back to #1. I\u2019m sorry. I know you\u2019re busy, but I need to communicate with you. Call me. Email me. Send me notes. Tell me, please <\/em>tell me, when he has a great day. Tell me why it was great. Tell me when he has a rough day and let\u2019s spend some time talking about it. I think if we can put our heads together we can figure out why it was rough and come up with a simple solution, so tomorrow is better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7) I want to help you. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I want to be your partner. It absolutely does take a village to raise a child, and you and I are in the same village. I know how busy you are and how dedicated you to are teaching our children. Let me help make it easier for you by sharing with you the simple ways to help my son.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8) I want you to help my son. <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some really easy ways for you to do that.<\/p>\n

Tell him very simply and directly what you want. Then tell him what is going to happen next. Give him time to transition.<\/p>\n

He is very literal. When you say \u201cjust a minute,\u201d he will start counting.<\/p>\n

Pay attention to the signs that something is wrong. If he\u2019s fidgeting or rocking or hitting himself or acting wired, he is anxious and overwhelmed. Give him time and space to work through that.<\/p>\n

Please show him how to do something, rather than just telling him. Please show him many times. Often something he knew how to do yesterday he can\u2019t remember today. Help him remember.<\/p>\n

Look for sensory issues. Your classroom is a very uncomfortable place for him. The lights and clocks and kids all hurt his ears and his eyes. When these get overwhelming, he will act out.<\/p>\n

Provide him a quiet space. This will help him calm down when he feels overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Help him transition between activities. Always give him a Plan B.<\/p>\n

Help him understand the inappropriate behavior in a matter-of-fact way and tell him that you understand. Help him learn how to handle the situation better next time by showing him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9) Love my child and see him as an individual. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t define him by his diagnosis. Look for his strengths and you will find them. Every child with autism is different. So, please see him for the person that he is and help him become the very best he can be.<\/p>\n

I place him in your care five days a week in an environment that I know is difficult for him. At home, I can protect him, care for him, understand him, work with him, and support him. I need you to do the same when he is at school. When you really see him, you will realize what a hero he is for simply waking up every day, putting a smile on his face, and walking into your classroom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10) Believe. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBelieve and act as if it were impossible to fail.\u201d \u2014 Charles F. Kettering <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Believe that you can make a difference for my son. Encourage him to be the very best he can be. Help him believe in himself. Help his classmates believe in him, too. Believe that he can achieve great things. He has already achieved so much. Believe that he will achieve so much more.<\/p>\n
