Issues at the ARC
Today when I went to the after school program a few of the kids were really bad and not listening to anyone. Two of the boys hit the employees and had to go on time out and one of the girls kept yelling and saying things that were inappropriate and then saying "that's inappropriate!" On Tuesday we had a pizza party for Richa, one of the workers, and a girl who has a learning disability and Prater Willies syndrome could not have the pizza so she starting screaming and crying. She cried for at least an hour and did not calm down until I asked her to play dominoes, her favorite game. The team leader told me not to go near her before that because she needed alone time to calm down. I felt that she needed the company, she didn't do anything wrong. Also I never mentioned it before but there is a blind boy that another younger boy has chosen to take care of everyday and guides him through the hallways and outside. Its very sweet the way he takes care of him and hes a lot younger then the blind boy.
