We have bumped into this befroe, as our district has a long history of quick staff turnover.We are now being told hat the district will and wont do, based on education, of course ..and what we are offering other kids in district. No one is getting special attnetion. HUH??!!Isn't that why we call it special ed?I exclaimed with surprise, that kids with autism,especialy, have special needs, that go beyond, just education that CT's Autism guidlines state they CAN recieve evals, home training, parent training ect.IDEA does not PREVENT our kids from getting thier needs met.Well, I am ONLY trying to follow the law. I am stickler for the process, you should know that I will have to look into that.If you secure your own eval we don't have to follow it/adopt it, based on the fact it will not be educational.HUH?!This is not the first time we have asked for an eval or camp.I was quietly wishing I could kick myself for not having EVERY IDEA statute/autism guidline memmorised.I was stunned. On it went .. We are trying to put together a list of solid providers for a strong structured program.. (this has been ongoing too)What a better way to begin .by letting an INDEPENDANT outside evaluator look at the child and his program.Talk about your self evaluations what would a school say?PPS Dept I am sorry, but the staff do not know what to do with your high functioning child .I understand you are concerned that there is something more going on . excuse me .now I need to fire my honest staff because they are admitting they need further help and training .ugh.
