[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is also the issue that some school districts have autism classrooms, but not non-cat self-contained classroom. An autism code more easily justifies dumping these kids in an autism class rather than having to defend against a private placement.[/quote] This. If you agree to an autism code, but then try to refuse an autism placement, to the judge you will look like you are being too picky about services and the school system will be more likely to win it's case. The school system doesn't have to provide what's "best" -- just something that's "appropriate" and provides a reasonable likelihood of some progress. If you have a MERLD child and refuse an autism placement, to the judge it will look like the school system is providing an "inappropriate" placement. If you are being pressured to take services that you believe are based on an inappropriate diagnosis, you should always document your objection in writing. [/quote]
