Thanks. It is hard for me, even as a psychology student, to fathom working with someone at that level. Even a toddler seems simpler to work with (though a toddler with the strength of an 18 year old not so much i guess.)
ETA: I caught that she was the size/strength of a six year old, I was just making a general comment 
I knew it wasn't a regular classroom, but I wasn't sure what was available at that level. I'm glad those laws are in place.
