Happy Saturday!
I need a big favor. As you know, I am a Non-attorney special education advocate for children in special education. I am offering free consultation specifically to parents of children with autism, who specifically go to Jefferson County schools, and have what’s called an IEP. This is part of a project I’ve been working on for 4 years. Please DM me and I will give you my contact information to pass along. I really need your help.

This is what happens when school faculty and staff aren’t trained (or don’t use the training) to teach students with autism. This is so hard to watch.

The Iris Center at Vanderbilt university is a resource I learned about in grad school at UAB. You’ll find just about any classroom oriented/IEP program information there. Here is a link to one of their pages. Be sure to read about PROGRESS MONITORING. It’s very important. The teacher should be doing this and documenting the data. It’s part of your child’s records and you have the RIGHT to see them.

IRIS | Page 10: Substantive Requirements: Common Errors Recall that substantive requirements represent what is developed in the IEP. Substantive requirements involve the actual content of the individualized special education program and focus on the educational benefit conferred by a student’s IEP.
