Who out there has a child of their own with special needs in their special ed classroom?

I do. Trust me I did not plan this. My son received a diagnosis at age 13 after I was already established in this position.

This weekend was a rough one at home. He's been upset about some poor decisions he made and it was meltdowns all weekend. I really would have liked to take the day off today, but if I did that every time I was exhausted from him I'd be out of sick days.

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
