[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't necessarily recommend a private report at this stage. When she is a bit older and hopefully less resistant, it could be helpful for college planning. But you have the information you need to get her the supports at school. She might get an autism diagnosis from a private person, which could be a benefi eventually, but it doesn't sound like she is in the right place to hear that right now.

To approach it with her, I'd be straightforward about what you see as challenges (ie. you are failing these classes and it's keeping you from your goals) and how the IEP will help. Unfortunately, she is going to be resistant, especially at first. Going into the IEP, i'd want to limit services that she'd see as embarrassing (i.e. pullouts) and advocate for inclusion services.

Good luck- this is a hard road, but she's lucky you are supporting her even through these challenging times.

Thanks for this feedback.  You reminded me of a question I intend to ask at the IEP meeting - exactly what format those supports will look like. Essentially they are scheduled like any other elective (likely multiple days a week).  They want to provide supports for her in those 3 different identified areas - executive functioning support, social support, and anxiety support. [/quote]
