We have just moved to a new house. Closer to my job and my sons school. We thought it would be better for him as we had been driving an hour each way. On top of this he has changed to the next classroom up at the montessori school he has been attending. He went from a class with 11 kids to one double that.

The first couple weeks of school were pretty good for such a big transition. Then we moved....the first week after the move was surprisingly good. A couple behaviors here and there. This last week has been down right horrible! Spitting, hitting, kicking, shoving, you name it, it's happening.

He has been asking to go home,(our old house) and we keep telling him this is our new home. Today they have moved him back down to the younger and smaller classroom to help him feel more safe. So far today he has done well. As you all know though one day is no way to establish a pattern

So what other strategies have you done or seen employed for this huge transition in our life? I am trying everything I can. These days seem harder than four months ago when he was first diagnosed with spd. We are meeting with a behavioral specialist on Tuesday to hopefully figure out how to modify these behaviors.

Btw his sensory is pretty under control. He self regulates pretty well plus of course he gets his routine sensory diet through the day....
