Does your school district have an autism team (a group of teachers, therapists, administrators who are knowledgeable about autism and coordinate with the schools and teachers providing educational services to all students on the spectrum in the district)? If not, you may want to advocate for such a program to keep the staff informed about the needs of autistic students and the benefits to everyone involved in meeting those needs. If so, contact someone on the autism team to push for implementation of the IEP. They should provide you with the support you need (and they have more clout to get things done).<br><br>Stephaniehttp://embracingchaos.stephanieallencrist.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959253662881047710.post-25781965470457948842010-09-14T23:51:14.000-05:002010-09-14T23:51:14.000-05:00It's the same all over - all the kids are expe...It's the same all over - all the kids are expected to fit into a 'one size fits all' type of factory and any differences are just too hard for school systems to deal with effectively through under-funding, not enough teachers, not enough commonsense in the system.<br><br>Rohttp://getoveritidid.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
