[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does a kid with high functioning autism get a 1:1 aide?[/quote]

High functioning autism isn’t even an official term. A kid with a 1:1 aide would, in Loudoun, likely be in a self contained AUT class, which is for children whose disability is so impactful they can’t access the general curriculum with non disabled peers. [/quote]

Disagree…..my high-functioning LCPS ASD kid is in a regular class with special ed counselor support. He gets help with quizzes if he does not understand the material/instructions. ASD is a spectrum, so each high-functioning child will require different level of support at his/her school. Some may be placed in modified special education classroom with 1:1 counselor, some will be in a contained AUT class with 1:1 aide and a counselor, some are in general ed with speech/occupational therapy support. VA is a consent state, so you can ask for anything in your kid’s IEP. Some LCPS schools are better and just give you everything you ask for, some will require to hire an attorney.[/quote]
