Guest guest Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hello, I am new to this group and want to thank everyone in advance for being there to help others. My child is (almost) 20 years old and has Asperger's Syndrome. He has not yet received his high school diploma. We feel like we are spinning our wheels right now with figuring out a direction with his transition phase. He need supports in many areas and he is regressing for numerous reasons. Sorry for the barrage of questions but here goes. - I wonder if someone could explain the STEP program in which the DHS gives funding to the school district to establish work experience for eligible students?. What does a well run program look like? If someone had concerns about how it is being run, is there any recourse? - We had a functional vocational evaluation done for my child, and it was highly recommended that we seek the advice of a Rehabilitation Counselor and BCBA to help with his odd behaviors. Does anyone know of Rehabilitation Counselors that can be hired to help a family with case management? Next, I am looking for recommendations of BCBA that will go in the community and possibly a job site to help with coaching and odd behaviors. Along those lines, is there any advice regarding getting insurance to pay for a BCBA. I did attend the session at the Autism One conference and received some advice there. - Next, I am looking for the names of transition programs that can assist with life skills, employment and college readiness, - Last, does anyone know of therapeutic drivier's education programs besides n Joy? Thanks in advance for any advice. Sincerely, Sheri Sheri L.
