Thanks, it is definitely a difficult job some days. And others, it is a blast. I must add that I also work with other branches of special needs kids such as deaf and HOH as well as EBD (emotional behaviour disorders).

Which makes me think of when one of my EBD kiddos was doing their best to pick up sign from one of my deaf kiddos....and their signing penis instead of pink.

So yeah, trying to clear up that what was meant was "I like pink.", not "I like penis.", took several days and quite a few guffaws.
