Talking to Himself?

Samuel's speech teacher is considering putting him by himself while she works with him. I understand her dilemma: if  he is too much of a distraction, the other kids can't benefit from her sessions. But, if he's in with other kids, she can assist with peer interactions.  I told her I'd support whatever decision she makes -- I understand Samuel can be quite demanding and trust her to do right by all the kids involved.
