Having medical information that's easily accessible to first responders is SO IMPORTANT to those with autism, as well as other medication conditions like epilepsy - which is found in more than 35% of those with autism.

Teacher Caught on Camera Tying Up Child with Autism

As we spent this week in our state’s capital advocating for cameras in classrooms, this tragic story comes out about a 7 year old boy with autism who was tied to a chair at his public school. The teacher and para took turns sitting on the chair to keep him from moving. The only reason we even know about this is because there was a CAMERA on the playground. There is no expectation that this chil...

Labels might be something that's meant for shirts, or even jars, but unfortunately they're also a pathway to accessing services. Maybe one day that will change, but for now, it's what we have. That's why it's important to know and understand what they are and why they have changed over the last ten years.

    My daughter doesn’t emulate, what people think Autism is. It has me questioning if I am too, because she is so similar to me. I feel like I have little lightbulb moments go off in my head all the time since she’s been diagnosed. It would explain so much about me, growing up and even into adulthood.

    I have a question: My wife and i have a 2 year old daughter. We live in Colorado. She was in Children's Hospital for 9 months. She had heart surgery, still needs a new pulmonary valve. She has a tracheotomy and on ventilator, she has a feeding machine, she has a syndrome and CP. We are on medicade waiver and are her paid 24/7 caregivers because no home health here that want the responsibility. But we are all by ourselves. No family here. We want to move to Florida because my wife had a sister there. My daughter will hopefully be off the ventilator in about 1 year. But might have tracheotomy for long time and pulmonary valve surgery sometime also. Is it possible to move to Florida and keep her waiver? Will she automatically be able to have Medicare? Do we have to become resident first, then apply? Will my daughter loose her medicade during the move to Florida? Any advice

    My sister has an acquired brain injury as of two years ago and she is 41. The APD excludes her to my understanding because she doesn’t have a developmental disability she was born with…. So how can I get her services at a group home if she does not have a born with disability?

    If an autistic is extremely disruptive, and parents object to measures teacher has to take in order to maintain classroom = then parents need to take responsibility for incorrigible child: stay home and homeschool, pay for private tutoring. BUT: do not berate teacher whose responsibility is too welfare of ALL her students: unrealistic and unfair to blame teacher.

  • @deniseeugene1852
    @deniseeugene1852 6 месяцев назад

    Many of these teachers aren’t trained to care for these children. Many parents must also work with their child’s pediatrician to consider small doses of medication to address agitation. Especially as they go into puberty. Children with autism start to show signs of agitation around puberty 7 and up. Also, behavioral management must be considered. The key is early diagnosis with ABA speech and behavioral therapy. Many parents are in denial. There is an large and growing autism community.

    I home school my nonverbal autistic son because he was being abused at school. This is more common than people like to think. Just look at how our disabled and elderly are treated in residential care homes. Predators love finding jobs where they can abuse the vulnerabilities of others.

  • @Noname-v2w5w

    What are teachers and their assistants supposed to do with a child who is putting themselves or others in danger? Restraining is a response to dangerous behavior. I highly doubt they just decided to restrain him for no reason. It is awful that both students and teachers are not supported by a system that requires our public schools by law to educate and manage the behaviors of children who often cannot handle the school environment. All the people calling for long prison sentences for teachers should try being one for a day. Parents send kids to school with problems they themselves cannot handle at home and then expect a teacher who is responsible not only for the education but also the safety of an entire classroom to manage their out of control child. Teachers are forced to put themselves and other students at risk and then face lawsuits and prison time for trying to keep everyone safe. All you teacher bashers have no clue. A non verbal child sometimes simply does not belong in a typical school setting. So starting the story with “teachers tie up a non verbal child” automatically paints the teachers as sadistic abusers. I have compassion for kids with disabilities but some not only should not be mainstreamed but are being traumatized just by the experience of being there and not learning much. Often these kids are so distressed just coming to school it is a battle to get them off the bus. It is time to rethink our education policies regarding kids with intense needs-everyone’s education is suffering under the current plan.

    You never ever restraint a child. I work with children on the ASD. It's been 27, years. We have never restrained a child. We have Professional Development courses every year about this. What the heck is wrong with them? The sad thing is if they were so comfortable doing this in front of a camera. What are they doing where cameras aren't around?
