What is the smartest way I can finish my degree in special education? I just started my bachelor’s degree in special education and it will take me about 2 years, maybe a little longer because of student teaching.

I have financial aid but it doesn’t cover it all.

I currently work for my school district as a head custodian and I will continue to do so until the day I become accepted as a teacher here.

Any advice would be much appreciated, I’m working through this all, but I also support my 2 kids and I’ll have to take off work for student teaching for 4 months.

Location: Pennsylvania if it matters at all

Hello, I’m not sure who to ask, I tried googling, but it didn’t really help me.

My son is 4 years old and non verbal. Yesterday around bed time, he took my hand and kept guiding it and pressing it against the front of his diaper and I was panicking and very confused. I called my girlfriend in to show her what he kept doing and she checked and he was erect. As first time parents we panicked and were thinking the worst. It took him about 30 minutes to fall asleep after and we didn’t know how to help him or what to think. We felt better today after finding out it’s totally normal for boys this young to become erect.
Now, today, he PUSHED my head towards the same area and now I really started to overthink and panic and think the worst. I told him no thank you and got him undressed because it was bath time. After I took his diaper off he was fine and it went away. About a hour later it happened again. First he tried pushing my head there and then my hand. I told him no thank you again and he went on to go run around the house as he was doing with his tablet.

Any advice is so much appreciated as the two of us are thinking the worse and not sure what to do or feel.

For reference, he’s in IU20, matrix, and occupational therapy.
