Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Amy, I am not sure what ARC is, could you explain it to me, please? Also, the school is refusing to recognize the PDD-NOS diagnosis. His teachers are great and they pull the teacher from the Autistic room into to help them some, but the coordinator for our ARD said that she can not accept the diagnosis. The OT is also not going to help us. She (OT) had said that his eval went great, but then I explained to her that he has memorized the eval procedure and even before they tell him what to do, he has already done it! Thank you Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 For Respite you might also contact your local ARC office. And as far as Extended School Year (ESY) services, if your child has a social skills or behavior skills IEP, the school can offer ESY to prevent regression. I have successfully gotten this implemented for several families. I you have more questions, please feel free to contact me. Amy " I don't suffer from stress.....I'm a carrier!

They are covering a behavior specialist to come in the home and only paying $10 and she is $60 an hour. What are my rights? Thank you Carla Oh also, the school district thing...We are in Temple and my son is in the Belton ISD and they said even with his dianosis, they do not do summer school unless they can prove regression would occur over the vacation.
