Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around much lately. Leo has been wait-listed to restart OT and social skills therapy for a while; not much has been going on SN-wise. I'm in the process of switching him to a different devel pedi practice (it's new to the area but I know one of the drs and I love what she told me about their approach/philosophy). I finally got the huge stack of paperwork from the new practice in the mail today. Of course there are a bunch of teacher forms. Unfortunately Leo has had a long-term sub the first 6 weeks of school. She leaves tomorrow. His real teacher comes back from maternity leave on Monday.
I know the forms need to be turned in asap b/c their waiting list is rapidly growing (plus there's a one-month deadline to return the paperwork or I basically get bounced back to regular pedi). How would you handle the teacher forms in this situation?
I should add I haven't been impressed by the long-term sub. She's a retired teacher but she's not very communicative and I haven't been able to get any detailed feedback from her about Leo; she's just like "Oh, he's sweet." I asked her, "He told me he's been playing alone a lot at recess; I was curious to get your perspective on that." "Hm. I guess. I don't know; he seems happy." (He's also at his best in a structured school setting; he's quiet and a rule-follower and loves to learn. His issues surface a lot more at home or in less structured settings so it's easy for him to fly under the radar at school unless he has a more observant teacher. Who might notice things like he frequently comes home with his lunch all over his shirt, he gets anxious, he has a social skills and gross motor skills delay, etc.)
