Hi, I think some of you know me. I am Cindy and Micah is my son. We
are in Santa Fe, TX. Micah just had some testing after school was out
this past June. The school was doing some testing for him going into
High School this year. Ugh...... Anyway, the school psychologist has
kinda taken Micah under her wing and she wanted to test also for
Autism. I talked to her awhile ago and she said she was going to add
Autism to his IEP. We will be scheduling an ARD for that. But my
question is what kind of help can you get with the Autism label.
Micah does have PWS UPD but he is not MR. He is about 15 points to
high for MR. Anyway we will take all the help we can get. We have had
none to this day. Just trying to get an idea of who is in this group
and what you have done for your kids.
Thanks,
Cindy Brooks

Right now the "gold standard" treatment for autism is Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA. It is very one-on-one labor intensive, so it is expensive. Check it...
