[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. I read the other thread and As I understand it, you have a child with a diagnosis of autism. Why can't you present the diagnosis, get an IEP and ask for goals, services and accommodations for his social needs? What am I missing here? [/quote] Because a diagnosis doesn't automatically qualify you for services through the school. The school has to find that the diagnosed issue is having a "significant academic impact" which can be a high bar. If the child has the diagnosis but is even just holding his own in the class room often services are not available.[/quote]
