COMMUNICATION Feel free to contact me either by phone at 798-3311 or by email at brivenba@nhcs.net if you have any questions or concerns. Please remember that our "team" is here to serve your children. I will be setting up Team Meetings for those students who I "Case Manage" (TP,TB,CF,DW,DW,RJ,AT,HT). If you see your childs initials and would like to contact me to set up a meeting, please feel free to do so. Homework: Parents your child is responsible for assignments in their regular education class unless it is specified in their IEP. If you see a need for a modification in their homework assignments please let us know. We are working with the general education teachers to make any adjustments that are needed. SAS: Self Awareness Support/Social Communication Group: Our team is working closely with the school Occupational Therapist, Cindy Hancock in helping our students understand how their body responds to internal and external stimuli. For the past few weeks we have been exploring different kinds of tools and how to use them appropriately: Touch Tools: smooth stone,silly putty, tangle tamer,etc... Mouth Tools: gum,thera tubing,pretzels,warheads,etc... Ear Tools: ear phones,soft music,etc... We have developed a check out system in our classroom so our students can check out a tool to use for the day in their general education classroom.
