Well done These people who make ignorant comments in shops are the same people who think you put a spoon into someones mouth when they are having a fit. The world must be very small for them

Hello I am a teacher in a special needs school. The curriculum we use is based on a system of P levels. These are broken down further to make small but manageable targets to put on IEPs. I would certainly recommend them as I cannot fault them for the children that I work with.

I have a pupil in my class with autism. There are times when he is laughing so much that he is hysterical. But within seconds he can be inconsolably upset. However i have also seen this behaviour at more inapproprite times. for example someone falls and hurts themselves and the person with ASD laughs. This may be part of their diminished social understanding. They may be trying to interact with the world and know that a fall requires a reaction. They just haven't got the right one. Do you see what I mean
