I think they would let me observe but I fear his behavior would be worse if so. Or he would behave. I'm not sure. I truly believe the teacher is doing the best she can with 20 kids in the room and little experience. He really needs an aide. It's not like other schools and preschools don't have more than one teacher. He would never know the aide was specifically for him.

He gets 5 hours a week according to his IEP. That way he gets a break but it is not correlated to any type of behaviors.

Maybe they can allow him to have breaks before he gets to that point so that he can enjoy the work more and still get a chance to take a break when he requests one.

What is he cooling down from? What are they doing that can possibly be the trigger to his anger in the class? Will they let you observe? (I recieved my bling!!!) Thank you soooo much!

Sensory breaks, something like that? Maybe if they can catch him before he gets to that point and meet his needs, he won't get to that point. In preschool, if my son was about to crumple up or mess up a paper, they gave him the choice to follow the directions or not to do the paper. Usually after a couple of minutes sitting there doing nothing, he would decide to follow directions. I don't know if the school would be willing to do that. Are there any proactive things in place?
