[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does the funding work for autism diagnosis-->increased staffing (or, conversely, decrease in diagnoses leading to decreased staffing) at a school? Could someone please explain. TY. [/quote] They get more allocations for sped teachers depending on the number of asd kids. So, they try to switch kids with adhd, learning disorders, speech issues to asd to get the numbers to justify the teachers. However, if you agree it does not mean more help for your child. They told us it was an educational diagnosis only and it does not have to match our outside diagnosis. We were told if we did not accept it they would remove our child’s iep. Which they did when we refused. It took us years to get it back. [/quote]
