Assisting Your Family

Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD, includes Autism, Aspergers Disorder, and Pervasive Development Disorder or PDD. Autism Spectrum Disorders vary in the severity of symptoms and in the presence of various features, such as impairment in social interaction and initiation of social interaction, language delay, and mental retardation.

I can help you obtain an appropriate program and services for your child.  

• Obtain appropriate independent educational evaluations at public expense
• Obtain a proper evaluation
• Representation at the Individualized Educational Program (IEP) team meeting
• Drafting the complaint in special education
• Representation at resolution sessions or mediation
• Representation at due process hearings
• Representation in federal court after due process hearing.

Children with autism require special education programs and services. If your child has Autism Spectrum Disorder, he should have the services of a teacher endorsed in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD may also require very intensive services, such as small group or one-on-one intensive teaching based on principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for up to 30-40 hours per week

Every child with autism has different needs and concerns. Interaction with regular education students can be very helpful. Training in social skills and a plan for positive behavior support is needed by many students, and that includes keeping detailed data of progress. Many students with autism can be mainstreamed or included in regular education.
