Just so they can meet their teacher and learn what their day may look like.
This is a good time for you to introduce yourself to the teacher and let them know that you are there to help, providing just a basic overview of your child and what works best for them, as far as you know.
Recognize that the teacher will have a number of children to deal with and they want to help your child, but they may need to do things differently than you have at home.
Let the teacher know that you are willing to support your child with homework assignments or any other projects that may come up.
Be an advocate for your child but don’t overwhelm the school or make demands on them that make it impossible for them to care for other children as well.
If your child is to be mainstreamed, they are likely going to need an aid with them throughout most of their mainstreamed classes.
This person will be there to help them with difficult work and also monitor your child for overload, allowing them the opportunity to remove your child from the classroom prior to them displaying inappropriate behavior.
Inappropriate behavior in the classroom is only going to make them a target for other children and it will serve them well to avoid that possibility.
