How about something like these? Not exact, sadly, but it could work in a pinch.
I love these gloves when forging
Welding gloves, motherfucker, do you wear 'em?
Seriously, they work amazingly well.
Um sounds like most of the students I've dealt with when it comes to severe disabilities. Welcome to moderate to severe disabilities. This is kind of the day to day. There is a difference between disability and behavior. This is disability. Yes it is involves behaviors, but at the same time it stems from disability.
It sounds like attention seeking behaviors. He needs an FBA (Functional Behavioral Analysis) and a BIP/BSP (Behavior Invention Plan/Behavior Support Plan).
So kicking you just block. Check out 1:30 for an example. Biting is counterintuitive. You push into the bite. When you push in it forces the mouth open and if you pull they can rip chunks of flesh off. As for spitting I always gave my staff wrap around safety glasses. Reason for wrap around is they cover the eye the most. I also keep my mouth shut. If you get saliva in your eye or mouth, you need to file workman's comp because its a bodily fluid and you need your shots. As for biting. That one is tricking. See the above. You need protection. Kevlar sleeves that most SPED classes have work for those who scratch and gouge. For biting they do a really good at holding in chunks of flesh an staunching the blood. I got my staff 23 inch welding gloves and cut the fingers off. You may still get bruises, ice helps, and so does arnica.
As for the FBA and BIP/BSP. There is something called ABC. Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence. So antecedent is what happens before the behavior, behavior is well the behavior, and the consequence is what happens after the behavior. It doesn't mean an actual consequence. For example: a room is dark (antecedent), you turn on the light (behavior), you can see (consequence). Or you are told to stop doing a preferred activity by staff (antecedent), you throw a chair (behavior), you are given a physical escort to a cool down area (consequence). So what you need to do is fill out an ABC sheet. I made a pretty awesome one that you can see. It will help discover a behavior patter.
Then you need to look at why the behavior is happening. There are four functions of behavior. The reason you want to find out why is to write the FBA. These forms can be helpful.
Once you write an FBA you need to work on the BIP/BSP. Its all part of the package. Once you know all about the behavior you need to figure out what the hell to do about it. These are very basic forms and more research is needed to tailor it to the student. It needs to be implemented for 2-4 weeks and during that time take data about what is working and what isn't. Then make adjustments as needed.
Yeah. This is why a lot of people don't stay in mod/severe for long. The kids are violent. The behaviors are challenging. Many are not equipped to deal with the behaviors. This is just a common sense approach, but most teachers get lost in the behavior. They don't have someone to mentor them in how to do this.

You can get some more. They have them for sale here.

Lincoln Electric Black One Size Flame-Resistant Welding Sleeves https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LB7AYAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_MVxzzbZ1XCT3N
I'm a welder. I use these sleeves in the summer when a long sleeve shirt is too hot. They will give you an extra second or two before you get burned so might contact with the machine will help.
The gloves have a gauntlet, and are likely better than what they've given you.
You do not need pants. I just use jeans, and the the apron over a jacket. Here is what I use:
Get one of these for sure.

I have had this set for 2 years and use them for shuffling logs, moving embers for cooking, moving pots and dutch ovens, and moving charcoal in a grill. Not really recommended, but they work great. Think of them as super oven mitts.
https://amazon.com/Lincoln-Electric-K3109-XL-Welding-X-Large/dp/B00HVF3BJO/ Not these exactly, but similar. They were nice gloves :-(
I just googled them. These are the tig version.

14.99 and I can stick my hand in the fire no issue, just don't keep it there too long haha. Not grease resistant but at that price I don't mind.
It's not like it comes up halfway to the elbow, just a bit higher up the arm.
Another option is welder's gloves! These are under $11 (Prime) for a PAIR! And these extra length gloves are $16.50 (again, Prime) also for a pair.
I suspect you could find the welding gloves cheaper at a local hardware store. I bought the welding gloves based on Alton Brown's recommendation, but the Ove Glove and Pitt Mitt have better dexterity, so I prefer them for oven use.

You’re now kitty just needs a different kind of play
my oven mitts. You can get uglier for 5$ or goes to your elbows for 15$.
​

I have a pair of $10 leather heavy welding gloves that I use religiously in the kitchen and they're pretty awesome.
You get more dexterity from them than any other glove I've used and they can withstand far more punishment than you can ever give them. And they're cheap as well. Most hardware stores carry the basic Lincoln Electric gray pair and those will serve you well.
My only gripe is they can't be just thrown in the wash to clean them but that's a small price to pay for the best pair of oven mitts I've ever used.
Maybe not the best for pulling pork, but welders gloves are great for the grill. They can be had for not much more than a good pair of leather gardening gloves.

I recently started teaching myself to MIG weld in my garage, and went with these products:
I can attest to them being quality products, especially considering their price. I didn't get a cap, because I didn't really know that was a thing... but I just wear a baseball cap backwards and it seems to work fine.
Not ready to just ditch my carboys, but I have been knocking the idea around getting some gloves for brewing. It would be nice to get something that provides protection from hot liquid, grip, and puncture resistance in case I drop a carboy. Preferably elbow length. I was looking at something like this.
What a wonderful idea for a contest.
I've had a rough time recently, some real ups and downs... but in order to keep this from sounding like a sob story I'll spare the details. If you're curious, I don't mind answering questions in PM's.
What I really need is my car fixed, but that's just something I'll have to take care of in order of priority. I don't have any friends here (in my town), but I am going over to meet a guy tonight that's going to help me build my forge. By all indications this could be my first local friend, and I'm excited for a couple reasons, one being having a friend, and two being FIRE!! FIREE!!! FI... uh... Blacksmithing!
Speaking of fire though, Blacksmithing carries a certain risk. Not only are you dealing with a coal (or gas) fire that can get upwards of (or higher than) 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 C for those of you using that system.) but you are heating and handling that metal. I built a small soup-can gas forge and hammered a little bit on a railroad spike, but wasn't using proper tongs or PPE. I hit it, my pliers lost their grip and the hot spike flew up and hit me in the face just below my right eye. I got lucky it didn't hit my eye. Even though it only made momentary contact, it still burned and hurt for a week.
So, right now the items on my wishlist that would actively benefit my continued well-being would be the safety equipment on it. There's a heavy apron, a pair of welding gloves and a pair of decent safety goggles that would help protect me from flying super-heated metal.
Agreed. They are great for grilling, too. We have these, https://smile.amazon.com/US-Forge-400-Welding-Leather/dp/B000MRQAJG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1482199502&sr=8-3&keywords=welding+gloves

I think you should just buy 4 pairs of these, and then not worry about the stitching.
These are $8 with prime shipping. I'm sure shipping from the UK would put it well over $8.
Mmmm try these out...
They're super comfy!

Bsx stick welding gloves. you can grab red hot metal and not feel it for a few seconds.
not recommended to do that l though the leather burns and gets real stiff.

You do not need to spend a lot of money, a local restaurant supply store will is ideal for most everything from knives to turners, tongs, bottles, containers and anything else you can think of. I prefer plastic handles as they are easier to keep clean, and do not degrade.
For thermometers and digital probes, i prefer thermoworks. I use the smoke and instapen, but you can go with a thermopop if you want to save money. Tried other brands, they always end up having issues after a year or two. digital probes will go bad if left in water or the dish washer always hand clean them and keep them dry.

Chain mail and some other metal work. Welded a tree out of scraps in the shop recently, but this is what I'm proudest of so far. I started doing this at a call center job, making the rings from scratch and just playing around until it looks like I wanted.
these would help me make some really nice jewelry.
these would help me keep making sturdier things like gauntlets and other armor.
these would help keep my hand intact for other things Ill be welding.
What do you think of these?

Thanks, I went with welding gloves. Got these John Tillman
Will give them a try tomorrow!
Pro tip for dealing with feral cats: Welding gloves.
Best 20-30 bucks you'll ever spend.
Not necessarily endorsing the seller but 4e will annihilate them. I painted the concentrated version on the cut stringer and they turned brown in 10-15 days. Be careful if you spray it though, it will kill almost everything. It's way stronger then roundup and not available in places like Home Depot.
One more thing, if you ignore the awful text on these gloves, they actually protect your hands and arms if you have to pull them out.
Good luck, you are starting a war, not a battle.
