These are mostly Aspergers Children or High functionig Autism. My son's behaviors were esculating and with more frequency. He was so frustrated. He majorly lacks social skills. He actually had disassociated himself..he did not see himself as a student in the class or the teacher as his teacher. He just entered the 1st grade after 2 years in K. The demands of the class were to much for him and he can't cope with it. Neither could the teacher. I am happy for the change. Hope that was helpful. Members of this board gave me some really useful advice and I am grateful I had the Autism Specialist come out and observe him in class to and make recommendations for him. This finally got my son into a program that will work for him. Best Wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 How did you get an Autism Specialist to do that? Where do I find that?

I initially had contact with the Autism Specialist when the dist did the psych on him, he scored high on the GADS testing and she recommended the assesment from the Autism Specialist. She did the Assesment and he was given the educational label of Autistic, in the meantime I recieved his DX of Aspergers. Everyone was on target with him. FINALLY... If you already have the DX of AS, Do they have support services in place? If his support is not working for him request an IEP to review his support services and find out what Special Ed programs they have for Autism. He may be just like my son and unable to cope or adjust to the stress. I even called Tallahassee before my meeting this morning. If you cant get anywhere with your school district I have a name & number for you in Tallahassee to help. Best Wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hello Just have to get a quick note in. Please, if you have the ability, find a way to stop what is going on now. He is clearly frustrated (to me, because my son has gone through something similar) He is way too young to be 'ruined' by the school system because they don't know how to handle him. I had my little guy in Kindergarten (at 7) for 6 months. I just never got my little guy back. I tried testing and started therapy. and still no appropriate diagnosis. Finally I pulled him out of school. Things have been MUCH better but never did they go back to the way it used to be. Start today, and look for your local Autism Society (Google Autism Society and your state and see if one is local and check them out if they are!) Find some area support groups, and today. The school doesn't have to provide counseling, as I understand it but they definitely should be open to an FBA and an immediate assessment of what is going on to make him so miserable. Don't let them tell you it is all him, or you for that matter. There is always a cause for such distress in school, even if they don't see it. I don't live in your area, so I don't know what you have, but if your local autism society is good, they will have some ideas! Jump right in so you don't loose that little guys personality! It is hard to get back:( b > > Hello. I am at my wits end. My son is 7 years old with AS and he is > getting in trouble everyday!!

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 , What 'asperger school' is your son attending? Where is it located? City/State/school district?? We're in Los Angeles and have NPS funding and a list of services on our 8 year old's IEP, yet the only option the district has is to include him in a program with lower functioning students. If he was 10 then he could go into a PACE/Gifted program at an NPS. We are in dire need of an appropriate program and a great teacher!! Thanks, I. > > > > > > Hello. I am at my wits end.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 A functional behavior assessment is an evaluation and plan to follow and deal with the behaviors that are presented. It should be a collective effort with input from the classroom teacher, anyone else working with your son in the school environment and perhaps an autism consultant or other specialist. You should have received a copy of the evaluation and discussed how to implement the plan at an IEP review meeting. Here is information about your parent information center. Contact them to get some assistance and guidance with taking next steps navigating the special education system.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I put my 14 year old Asperger's Son in a different school this year, first year of high school so he was going to change schools anyway.......last year the middle school he was at completely washed their hands of helping him, and that was because my Son refused to stay after school and get help on homework, they had the program in place, but he was ready to bust out of the jail cell when school was out, he failed miserably, all F's in all of his core classes but they still passed him on, registered him to go to the big high school here with 2500 students, when I questioned why they put him in Algebra 1 instead of pre algebra they said he can do it, he is just manipulative and lazy. That right there did not set well for me, the counselor told me if he doesn't take advantage of the after school program then there was virtually nothing they could do there to help him, when I asked to have him tested last April, they blew me off, and told me the psychologist was too busy, and he would be tested this fall at the High School. That was more or less the final straw that broke the camels back. So I had to option in, at a different much smaller high school, with my request from day one for him to be tested, so they automatically put him in 45 day placement in special education until the testing can be done, they see him struggling, I have talked with the special ed Teacher already several times, she says he doesn't ask for help so she is going to ask him if he needs help. I told her the poor social skills thing, might keep him from asking, yesterday they appointed a male Teacher that he really likes to be a mentor for him, someone he can go to and ask for help, or anything he needs, or is having troubles with, I really love that idea. Our first IEP meeting will be the 28th. I have a team going with me who are very familiar with the laws, on this, and my Son both. So I think or feel that I am standing well. My Son loves the school, he said he feels more accepted. And in High School that is very tough. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an appointment on Tuesday to see the class and interview the teacher, the Autism specialst will meet me there also, she seems to be a great advocate for AS/Autism children! As it has been explained to me, My son will be able to learn the Social Skills necessary to recieve the Adedemic Education, There are about 10 students, as the children develop thier skills they will be sent to Reg Ed classes during the day as they are able with the home base being SE, at times there will be only 2 or 3 students in the SE classroom recieving social skills, and education and other specials OT, Speech etc.. They also have a middle school program that has someone to help the AS kids transition with the many classes they have to attend, I have heard that they are going to try something for the high school also as this middle school children move on. I know that there is a school for the more severe Autism and emotional disabled. It seems to have taken forever to get to this point. You have to have the recommendation from the specialist and the IEP team before you can even talk to the teacher or see the classroom. A dx of AS will not get your child the this class. This is special ed class is new for me. I really pushed over the last 3 years. Hope this helps I am in Fort Myers, Cape Coral area, The school district is Lee county.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 If he needs counseling to succeed at school, the school needs to provide it. My son had counseling at school for two years. Not individual counseling, but group counseling, which is probably more useful for AS kids anyway. In what state is Lake City?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Question....What type of counseling should the school be providing and who does it? My son only gets emotional support, itinerant. I have an IEP meeting next week and if he should be getting counseling, that I am going to ask for it. The school has yet to even add the diagnosis to his IEP, even though the evaluation from the psychologist (independent) states this is his diagnosis. The school has been doing observations to determine what would work best for him. He has a LOT of sensory issues, but have been unsuccessful in getting OT from school or insurance company. The schools idea of sensory therapy is to give him something to fiddle with. He does not want to stand out, and is reluctant to use things that others may see. Sally > > > Hello. I am at my wits end.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Sally, When my son was in middle school, he was in two types of groups. One was a psychological counseling group, run by the school counselor (who had at least an MFCC), and the other was a social skills group (pragmatics), run by the speech therapist.
