Inclusive Programming for Middle School Students with Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome

Middle school presents unique challenges to those with autism / Asperger’s, but it can also be exciting and rewarding. Inclusive Programming addresses transitioning to and from middle school, and everything in between: hormones, cliques, bullying, aggression, and “fitting in.” The ingredients for success are pre-planning, frequent monitoring of progress, teacher training, and regular communication between all concerned. Add committed teachers, peer mentors/tutors, sensible allowances for individ

Successful inclusion in high school is critical for achieving independence as an adult! Even though inclusive education is now the standard for educating students with special needs, inclusion is a still a very new process. Successful inclusion relies on flexibility of parents and educators, and their ability to work together for the sake of the student. Training, collaboration, specialized teaching, long-term planning, and a clear idea of the desired outcome for the student—these are just as

autism checklist:

Question by spedteach: what should a school administrator do if several preschoolers in one class are assessed to have autism?
I am an adminstrator of a private regular preschool. Before enrollment, our parents are given preschool readiness checklist. Everything sbout the child looks good until developmental delays and autism are discovered mid school year. Now we have several preschoolers with autism and our school can only accommodate one CSN per class. What do I do? How do I inform the parents of the limited accommodations? Do I disneroll?

Best answer:

Answer by justmeinthisworld
is this state law-

if they all only have mild symptoms–that weren’t picked up on until mis school year—i would hope that they could all still be accommodated..as opposed to having 1 child who needs constant attention
when you say preschool–I am guessing that they are 2 1/2 to 3 years old to start..

at 3 these children (in the US) are eligible for free school district services—sometime the district will even provide services at a private preschool–as a mainstream class is where these kids would be if the did not have special needs…

tell the parents you are concerned that you cannot provide the services the children need–suggest that they contact the school district for evaluation.

autism schools in indiana:

Question by lynn_artz: Summer school for Daughter with Autism?
Hi all,
My daughter is 9. She has autism of moderate severity and has been doing wonderfully in the program here in NY. She is in a self contained classroom through the school year, receives speech 4x, OT 2x, ABA 5x per week. She has gone to Orange Ulster BOCES for 6 weeks in the summer and has made progress every year.

Her father lives in Indiana. He lived here through the first two summers she was at BOCES. However, he lost his job here and returned to IN. He wants his parenting time over the summer (7 weeks). He says he will put her in a school over the summer there in IN. However, they start the program June 6 (school is out there before Memorial Day, ours here is out the end of Jube)) and they have a waiting list so they don’t take kids for less than the full program (8 weeks). In addition, I don’t know if he is even working and can support the kids. We are pending trial Nov. 24 and her teachers don’t want to get involved as witnesses. So I am worried that he will be awarded his 7 weeks with no school requirements at all.

I am scared for my little girl. She has done so well going to school year round. I am afraid she will not be able to catch up again or will get ‘stuck’ and never move forward.

Anyone have any ideas what to do?

Answer by Kathi
A school district cannot put a child on a “waiting list” for special education. They need to provide services per the child’s IEP. They would be in violation of the law otherwise. Here’s a link explaining it better

http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/iep.change.schools.htm

“When children with disabilities move to a new different school district – in the same state or a different state – the new school district must provide services that are comparable to the services in the previous IEP.

There is no provision in the law to wait one day, one week, one month or 90 days to do this”

You bring copies of your daughters extensive IEP, and a copy of her previous ESY paperwork as well. I would think the school psychologist could write a letter to the court explaining the importance of ESY services for your daughters development and well being. How the need for structure and routine is so important to a child with autism, and this major move for 7 weeks will be disruptive enough. She needs the continuity of school. Bring an outline of the program she attends during summer, the high staff:student ratio and intensive services, so the importance of these services is underscored.

Since you’re laying it all out now, there will be plenty of time to make the arrangements with the other school. For that you might need to send (or have your lawyer send) a letter reminding them of their duties and the law. Your daughter is ENTITLED to comparable services as per her IEP, not “This is what we have available…but since she’s only going to be here 7 weeks and it’s an 8 week program you can’t have it”

Do study up on that Wrightslaw site. If you haven’t please sign up for their newsletter. It’s free and comes in your e-mail. I always learn something from them. I too have a daughter who will be 10 next month. She was diagnosed with autism at 2-1/2. She’s pretty high functioning, but she’ll always need assistance of some type.
