Sounds like transitioning is improving

and you are neeiding to do less and less. Hooray!!! When Ryan started 1st grade last year, they pulled him out of class for speech. After the firs week or so he started having a royal fit and fallen in it when they came to take him. Screaming "No, NO, need to do math". So the speech teacher started coming to the room and working with him there. Again, the fits. He wanted to do what everyone else was doing and speech interupted his routine. what they ended up doing what showing the teacher what they do and she incorporated it into the regular class so it did not interupt routine in any way. Good luck with Ben, sounds like a little cutie. He's letting them know this whole speech thing just isn't gunna fly! LOL
