[quote=Anonymous]I think it's easy to give up or backpedal about getting supports for kids with Asperger's b/c many don't need academic help or have behavioral issues but I will tell you that school is so much better with an IEP: It's not just getting services but having a supportive nurturing environment - and yes, that's possible at a public school. The only pull-out for my kid with AS is social skills group, 1x wk for an hour. He gets OT push-in, in the classroom. He does not need a para. His classroom has a Sp Ed teacher who splits her time between it and another classroom. Also, it's generally harder to get an IEP the older your child gets, not to mention the yrs of services and supports you missed out on that your child is legally entitled to. Best of luck to you OP![/quote]
