[quote=Anonymous]Whether your child has an IEP or not, he still has autism and is at risk for academic or social challenges in school. In the short term, without an IEP your child will not be eligible to continue receiving speech therapy once he turns 3 (when the school district takes over responsibility for kids with SN from the county). IEPs ensure a child with disabilities get the right support and education in school. Think ahead -- if he develops behavior problems related to his Autism he will lack the protection of the IEP and could be disciplined in ineffective or inappropriate ways. IME the benefits outweigh the risk. It will be in his educational file. Every 3 years there will be assessments to determine if he still qualifies for the IEP. Of course you can avoid all of it by refusing further county services, paying for it all yourself, and choosing a private school. [/quote]
