the important thing here is not the nature of the behaviors it's the it's
what's driving down
and so if we're going to use medication the goal of the medication should beat
the minimum dose necessary to get above that threshold
rather than all in a large enough to us to just
wham ticket or whatever
where the adult
so
haha what
what can these children dead
how do we teach them
how-to get about that threshold when they're below that threshold
without using medication if that's not an option available to them or pets
considered desirable whatever their family rather
ems
and in a situation that might not be that awful situation water that one of
the
basically i would suggest there's two choices
one choice is to change the child's environment
for our son who was
also genetically me
he was not doing all that well in the public school
and unit was having challenges and so we went to the teachers in this public
school
and we said you have a class
called the dance place eclipsed
and city she said yeah i was a fix markets
we said well our son is one of us markets kalahari q i can demonstrate
that
effect that was one of the things that the educational testing stations told
securely you've got an i_q_ that's very good in and in fact one of major
problems of the d_h_ deals with people usually take tests badly
syracuse probably ten or fifteen points higher than this tested
tutsi rss market
we went to school and we said uh...
by putting in the best list
and this is the best force market's market has adi average
no that average
and we said that he'll do well in those classes because those are small classes
is that there's a level of mentorship with the teachers
the kids can learn at their own pace
when they have these are all the things that we've been would be
make these children very highly successful
and you're sticking in a classroom with a bunch of average kids who he's way
ahead of and he's bored selling
and this is what we can put him in the eighty claps
because you have to have
and a
to give me a pic
acid so let me get this right you have to prove that you can be as successful
farmer in the farmer classroom before you can get promoted into the hunter
classroom
and baked at that point it
discussion default
and uh...
we have a citadel we want to the political system so we we looked around
uh... schools in atlanta
confound a a school in downtown atlanta that was actually
educationally academically run by the teachers teachers had
it was a sala curriculum
final say teachers who got it came to the cricket
this was not opt for *** negotiation
buddy every other regard
children ran the school
children's school council made all the decisions
so from dress code to behave
one of the decisions that they made was that you got the signature
we would like to meet visit the school and walked into a classroom
and here's one kid sitting literally on the teacher's desk
teaches standing next to him watching
there's another kid lane on the floor with this you know it's watching its
head is up against the wall there's a naked sitting in the windowsill
there's two or three children sing on their desks rather than after desks
i would say
just only slightly fewer than half of the kids in this class i was maybe
twenty kids in the classroom were actually sitting in a desk
and
and the kids were challenging the professor
miss was uh... seventh-grade this with thirteen-year-olds
and they were having a debate with the teachers for spirit which is pop up and
you don't know the reason they reiterated that they were just having
this debate
and i thought my first thought was this is a question that is totally out of
control the city of disaster for my son i don't think anybody should go to a
school
this is a mess
and then i start and enough somehow as sometimes
you have a preconceptions
and then you listen
get just a little bit more information all of a sudden everything changes
view the world's changes
i stood there for a minute in my judgment but would
what quadra classrooms os
i know i don't
and
then i listened iced
start listening with these kids and teach arguing about such hash
they were arguing about
was that if he equals m_c_ scripting energy
in a piece of matter is equivalent to be masses that matter times the speed of
light square
if that's really tricky wheels at his worst formal it's true
then but i am in then mast elation theories that
that you know t equals
one over the square root of
m minus one over hypothetical there been any but im methylation spitball
hypothesized that it's impossible to go past
faster than the speed of light
and once you do mass becomes infinite
that does actually contradict the original third
and the students were like no doubt this is how it is never talked to in the map
in the teacher was like about this aside as and they were arguing about the
matter on states theory of relativity
arterioles
and at that moment i thought my son's allotments
and we put in that school and in a year in that school he jumped three years
army acquittal of the public school suddenly was a straight a student
and we went back to the public school and said we take an a student put it
into a p class
here this was all too of course
and uh... and he did well and he now has a masters degree in the biological
sciences
which is what
told that original cripples murky water
but in a few more years of college than the average kitty cat
and some of that punctuated by becoming a teaching assistant teaching
uh... an accurate beloved and another strategy that he developed i thought was
groped
that is available to
to a college kids and should be frankly available tickets below cultural
every semester when he was interested in his next semester
he would are to class are turning classes where you you can put a
permission teacher you show up for a few days or a few weeks and city and you get
no credit for
but you can be in class
and so he would show up and spend a day or two and classroom
and it wasn't you know what's the content
or is this
subject i'm interested in because there are certain classes you have to take in
order to graduate
the question was
is this teacher interesting enough to hold my interest
but i can set this classroom for a full semester
first this was teachers
burgess stands in one place in talks on the monotone for a whole our
and
you know everybody who's really better taking notes gets a and everybody else
is asleep
or threats but what's
and so he picked out his teachers
and i thought this this
states these adaptive strategies
and karen is adaptive strategies forward into like
you know the big question
how do we
how do we no
that were a lot
there's at again the answer of course store substance sure sensory input
how can we controller sensory input outside of medication
outside of drinking espn
or taking some ritalin or two hundred presser sensory input taking a barbecue
hopping outgoing modulator drinking out
or not to put
versus technicalities
walk you walk through it
what this allows is for child to put himself into basically a learning trans
translates are highly focused its most people think that they lack of
consciousness they're actually hyper conscious
dressed as a highly focused
and so
how do you bring yourself to
here now the small
in such a way that you can highly books
follow along here just walk through this with
notice what you're seeing
notice the model light in the room
but as the colors
notice b
suggest very aware of the visual world we live in a world filled with light
to macy's
or everything that you can see
this whole visual look at
screenwriters
and asha senses and others
what you are here
and the sound
people moving
silence
there's no air conditioning
much going
the silence
between
my words
the tone of my voice
people of srs
receive sound
and now i noticed the sensations in your body
the physical body
notice that gravity is pulling your book down on the seat of the chair
orange shoes
may be tight reviews there your feet
notice how warm or cool
noticed the senses of your
just be present
and now i notice
any taste
in your mouth
left over for a cup of coffee here's
teor juice
status your sense of text
and i notice how you are vertical
relative to the room
this is your best to do list
mother sense
notice physician does have everything's vertical horizontal by and large
your sense of balance
you might even challenge it'll
and i notice what you see again
all the collar
meant mix that with what your here
all the sound
mix that with what you're feeling
and the tapes
being vertical
just com this
felipe cruz
you can teach that to a key
or tool
for the moment when they feel racket
those of you who just walked through that with me
probably notice that there's that sense of
while here
and in fact in and
ends and practice and the possible
you know it's like this will
yet you want in life might be what it stands and what not
do this
just sit
with your senses
and just cycled through them
and depressed don't even believe it's not necessary to repeat a mantra or
visualize something or be yousef the same prayer beads of the these are all
different ways to
to do these kinds of practices but
what this does despite
let's say that you are
genetically here
in general but if we can't get a little extra whereas the visual and a little
extra awareness of the auditory normal extra whereas the kids that at the body
where are we were appalled that trish
