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 out and, if you want your son to get it, ask that it be included in his IEP. Schools are reluctant so you may have to be assertive. Ask for a minimum of 3 hours per day of "discrete trials" as part of any ABA program. Good luck, and don't be afraid to take a strong stand.
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
