So many interesting ways to support children according to their needs.
My son started middle school this year. His accommodations in elementary school were helpful but also pretty standard. I've been trying to think more about ways we he can be supported during this transitional year.

There were some great accommodation suggestions in that article but the real question is whether or not your school district will provide them.
The other thing is that if you really want better… read more
My son has been diagnosed with autism for years. He has always gone to the same daycare and haven't been told about any issues with his behavior. Except last week we received a letter stating if your child does the following we have a 3 occurrence policy. 1-we will talk to you, 2-we will talk to you and ask u to take your child home to work on/fix their behavior and be excused from the center for a period of time, 3-we will ask you to leave the center. Well this week he had his issues (like he… read more

I am trying to set up a 504 plan for my 6 year old, he goes to Speech, OT, Behavior/Social groups outside of school, he also has vision therapy outside of school as well. I am trying to set up for his vision processing, and auditory processing which is effecting his learning. What "goals" can they set up with a 504 plan. We had an IEP this year for social and speech, but he has "met his goals" and he doesn't qualify for an IEP. He is struggling in school academically but we cannot get that added… read more
504's are not for goals but for accommodations. If he already has an IEP it is time to revisit. They need to take out the mastered goals and add new goals to address the visual/auditory processing… read more

I know each year we have a review but he's never been retested and he will need to have this done for college. I looked on Wrights Law and couldn't seem to find the answer to this. I must be missing something. Thanks for any help you can give.
YES!!! If needs have changed, or IF YOU REQUEST IT.
I was wondering... if a new library security guard has to deal with a nonverbal autistic person, how should the security guard react, especially if the person is noisy? Does the autistic person have to be quiet in the library... or should it slide since most nonverbal autistics can't control themselves?
I just figure the security guard thinks that everyone has to follow library rules. Like, most security guards etc will be strict with rules and try to enforce them... regardless of the fact that… read more
If the problem persists make your own out door liabary . Forget the fool . Chances are rules will be altered and even if he seems to be complying your little one will pick up on the bad atmosphere… read more
Hello. My autistic son turned 7 and I know he’s supposed to start school. The schools in our area do not have enough support/resource for him. He was referred to a private school for autism but he is on the waiting list and 4th in that list. They said realistically it may take 4 years to make it to the top of the list. What do we do in the meantime? If he can’t start school until years later, how will he be at “grade level”? Also, how does grade level and state testing work with children who… read more
