But this is a routine occurrence.

The teacher aid is likely only present because the kid is present.
I think the general philosophy of integration first is good. The 20 minutes spent dealing with that issue was probably more educational then building a diarama or a musical instrument.
That said there needs to be a point to say this person is not functioning at the level to be involved in all activities so maybe they aren’t there everything the class does and has specialized learning some of the other time.
Investing to get people to be able to function on society will payoff when they need less support as adults.
