SNAP is only for flagged, tested and gifted with an SLP in place. There were only 12 slots for Lego. We have so few SNAP kids that there was the need to backfill. That's fine.

However, we had twin autistic kids in Lego and they could =NOT= do the projects, not even close. As the builds became more difficult DH found that he had to spend the entire time with them instead of giving attention to the rest. The kids not only couldn't do the builds they were extremely disruptive and defiant. They would run out of the building into the parking lot. It was a scene. Misplacing kids in programs like this just burns out your volunteers. We're not willing to handle serious maladaptive behaviors. That is a task for a professional.
