I love seeing this as your blog today! I just...OMG! I love seeing this as your blog today! I just started as the lead DSP at a group home with five ladies who deal with intellectual disabilities and Open Futures Learning is part of my training here. I came across your lessons there and it’s SOOOO obvious we think alike about people with intellectual (and developmental) disabilities! I worked in the public school system here in Oregon for about 17 years, with mainly middle and high school students who dealt with various IDs and DDs. My middle son, who will be 30 next month, was identified as having Aspbergers Syndrome in 8th grade and since has been identified with mental illness. I could have told them this long ago, but had to threaten to sue the school district to get them to pay for his schooling! But that’s the way it is in America! The company I work for is right in line with your (and my) thinking about this population and I adore my new job! Thank you for being a voice of reason in a judge mental world! Keep it up! The world needs your genius!<br /><br />I would be so honored if you contacted me! Thank you!<br /><br />PattyPattycakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500118769445795103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-24961037917570493772021-04-30T00:42:12.258-04:002021-04-30T00:42:12.258-04:00OMG!

Sounds to me like he was very appropriate, a lot of people in his situation would have really lashed out. Perhaps some coaching on empathy would be in order for the staff, walk a day in his shoes.<br /><br />DawnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816625280985234093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-22457487923427330692021-04-29T11:51:09.272-04:002021-04-29T11:51:09.272-04:00His response was perfect - explain, and then demon...His response was perfect - explain, and then demonstrate.<br /><br />And so was yours.
