“may benefit from” is more professionally accurate than “requires.” [/quote]

I disagree. It's far more generic. A very big proportion of children "may benefit" from smaller classroom sizes and individualized instruction. But for children with certain profiles it may be the difference between staying on grade level or not, having meltdowns or not, ruined self esteem or not, school refusal down the line or not.

For "may benefit from" I can read a book on general topics about ASD children, listen to podcasts, chat on a forum like this one.  Expecting clarity on what supports and settings your child needs is not outlandish. Providing this clarity is not unprofessional.[/quote]

You yourself said that your child is broadly on level in kindergarten - maybe your child doesn't "require" very specific interventions in order to function at school. "May benefit" might fit. You seem to be generalizing your child's evaluation to an entire practice.

I have two child who have been tested for different conditions - one with significant needs and one with mild ADHD. For the first, I have had evaluations say that he needs very specific supports in order to function. For the second, I had many "may benefit" type of recommendations, which absolutely fit. Recommendations are individualized to your child. It sounds like you wanted strongly worded recommendations to convince the school. An evaluation is a reflection of what the professional thinks based on their assessment - not on what the parent wants. [/quote]
