Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Some have asked what the Autism Supplement is: nna sent this a while back: The Commissioners Rules Governing Special Education in Texas have added these 7 items that MUST be addressed at least annually for all students receiving special education services in Texas under the AU code (which should be all kids diagnosed with Au, PDD-NOS, and Asperger Syndrome): 1. Extended educational programming (includes extended day or extended year). 2. Prioritized Behavioral objectives 3. Daily Schedule reflecting minimal unstructured time 4. Parent training 5. In-home training or viable alternatives 6. Suitable Staff to Student ratio 7. Prevocational or vocational needs beginning at age 12 (for transition) Each of these items is required to be addressed. If the ARD committee is in agreement on their provision, then a description of how they will be provided must be provided (including time, goals, etc. where appropriate). If the committee agrees they do not need to be addressed, they are required to give an explanation of WHY it is not appropriate for them to be addressed. Hope this helps. nna M. Guppy MGuppy@...
