None of my kids from last year are in the classroom I have been moved into and its so aggravating to see new TA's and teachers try to work with them and they have no idea what they're doing.

Today marked day two of my experience TAing. This job is so wonderful and its exactly what i needed. I come home and I don't even feel like i've been at work and I'm constantly thinking about my kids and what I can do to improve their learning. Autism is such an interesting condition because the slightest things can upset them. For example, I ( Read more... )
