Yeah I got a friend who is an autism therapist and works for a certain school district and I get fill-ins of behavior from teachers & assistants...

if you got a kid with autism, be very, very wary.
 
Autistic kid disrupting a classroom? Noooo! Never!

Autistic kids with behavioral problems should be in schools for autistic kids. They don't belong in public school with regular kids.
 
I think this story was about a parent who noticed drastic behavioral changes in his kid and he was trying to find out what was going on. Dunno why he suspected the teachers but he wired his kid and got the evidence.

They're not in the same class
 
The Feb. 17 recording started with Akian's aide and the teacher, whom Collingswood Patch provides evidence may be Jodi Sgouros and Kelly Altenburg, respectively, based on a previously published online staff directory.

The two engage in inappropriate conversations, like joking about their alcohol abuse and sex lives in front of their students -- all of whom have behavioral conditions and, according to Chaifetz, communication difficulties that prevent them from relaying the conversations to their parents.

"You would never get away with talking about your alcohol abuse the night before if this was a mainstream class," Chaifetz says in the YouTube video. "And that's the point, isn't it? They knew none of those boys could go home and tell their parents that the person who ran that class was under the influence of alcohol and was throwing up."

Wow the teachers still kept their jobs.

Actually most kids with autism, atleast hear are in the same class. Depends on how well they function.

What this so called teacher did was outragous, as someone with autism it makes my blood boil. I hope she gets what she deserves.

Might be dependent on how well they function but my friend definitely has autism kids in their own sep. class.
 
It's lame that the father had to put this out there since he saw that the teacher who bullied his son was able to keep their job. The school district just wants to sweep this under the rug.

I assume someone with classical autism is likely to be in a special class while those with aspergers or pddnos are likely to be in regular classes.
 
Nothing makes my blood boil faster than people who take advantage of the defenseless.😡😡
 
I'm not really sure where I stand on Autism, not that my stance on the matter really counts, but I think the word Autism gets thrown out very easily and very quickly.

That said, this video made my blood boil a little. Not from an Autism stand point, but from a father standpoint. I've had custody of my son since he was 4 (he's 14 now), and if I ever discovered a teacher doing this to him I'd see red.

It's one thing for kids to bully each other, that's human nature, so it will always happen, all I can do (and did) is train and teach my son how to diffuse or deal with another kid bullying him.

For a teacher to do this though...that's especially egregious. A teacher, or any other adult associated with a childs education is there to protect and shape our children, to build them up, not tear them down. Am I deaf dumb and blind to think teachers don't do this, no, I am not. It doesn't excuse it though. Children have no real mechanism to defend themselves against verbal, mental, or emotional attacks from a teacher. They are taught by parents that the teacher (usually) knows what's best. So when attacked, they often just put up with it and lash out in other, more destructive, ways.

For a normal child to be treated like this is bad enough, but to do it to a child that cannot speak up for him or herself, well, I hope karma is real, because this bitch needs a visit from karma.

depends on:

1) the school and how big it is

2) where on the scale cognitively

3) where they are behaviorly


lots of them just get aides to help them most of the day and are in out of the classrooms to go to special ed for certain things
 
wonder if the teacher just lost her cool. i'm sure its high stress to deal with kids on a daily basis, probably doubly so with autistic kids. she should get reprimanded, no doubt, but i wouldn't go so far as to firing her.

if you lose your cool on a daily basis maybe you shouldn't be working with autistic kids.
