Dar’s aide at school is required to write in a journal so that we have a sense of his daily activities, what he’s doing, how close he’s coming to meeting the requirements of his IEP. We truly worry about the hitting, but the school doesn’t. Here’s May so far, as of today:

He was hitting with a smile on his face he did it to me 3 times to Nick once
During my last 15 min break when Nick came in to give me my break Dar hit him 3 times while smiling this is day 2 and it’s not getting better. He tried to hit teacher again. Today he had to sit at desk every 2 min break because he keeps hitting he has been hitting his hand on the walls and desk all day today off and on
[Message from our home therapist to school]
Hitting staff is attention-maintained. He likes the faces or words you give him after he hits. Try not giving him attention (no eye contact) and quietly placing his hands on his lap. Once his hands are down and secure, thank him for having quiet hands. It may get worse before getting better but he has gone through this phase before.

He has been crying because he wants outside when it’s work time.
