[quote=Anonymous]It may not be as difficult as you fear (it could be though).  Special ed services at 3 (and beyond) should be addressing far more than academics, and so a deficit in social skills, social interaction, ability to learn in a classroom (transitions, group work, following the general expectations, etc), anything behavioral (again transitions, attention, following through with routines or direction, those sort of things) - all of these could merit support and show that his disability impacts his education.  The "autism" disability category is different from a medical diagnosis, but if you have an evaluation with an aspergers diagnosis (which should call under the autism disability category) and clear evidence of how it impacts him in the classroom, you might get what you're looking for.  If the eval doesn't connect the dots, I'd see if you can get whoever wrote to to do so more explicitly - it will help and may avoid some issues with early stages.

That said, if his current teacher says everything is a-ok, you might have some trouble (sounds like it isn't though).[/quote]
