It depends on your state. In Illinois, the law requires local education agencies to make service logs for a child’s IEP related services available to the child's parent or guardian at any time upon request for speech and language services, occupational therapy services, physical therapy services, school social work services, school counseling services, school psychology services, and school nursing services. Here’s the legal citation for Illinois: www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/documents/010500050K14-8.02f.htm Here is a FREE example of a records request letter for parents & guardians: www.breakingautism.com/resources.html

Any advice when the school now claims (at most recnt IEP) they don't believe the student is autistic (after 5 years in the same special needs class & official diagnoses)
@BreakingAutism2 ай бұрын
Hey there! It sounds like you're facing a challenging situation with your child's school. We're so sorry to hear that. Please know this isn't legal guidance, as we do not know your child, the data, your state, and do not represent you. This is purely to help you start to know what questions to ask and to prompt you to seek sound legal counsel in your area. Here's a few areas you might want to look into: First off, it's important to know your rights under IDEA, which ensures children with disabilities get the education they need. If the school is disputing your child's autism diagnosis after five years, that's certainly concerning. You have the right to advocate for your child, challenge any proposed changes to their Individualized Education Program (IEP), and request independent evaluations if needed. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Seeking advice from professionals who specialize in autism spectrum disorders can provide valuable support. Wishing you and your child all the best!! Other parents and professionals, please comment and share your resources here! That is how we all grow.

You do not have to go to the school take your child to the doctor this isnt a school problem it is a health problem. Then the doctor/psychiatrist will write up an order the school has to follow the order.
@BreakingAutism2 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's true that seeking guidance from medical professionals, such as doctors or psychiatrists, can be crucial in addressing health-related concerns for your child. These professionals can provide valuable insights and support in understanding your child's needs and crafting appropriate plans or orders for the school to follow. However, it's worth noting that educational institutions also play a vital role in ensuring that children with disabilities receive the support and accommodations they need to thrive academically. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) outlines specific rights and procedures for students with disabilities in the educational setting, which can complement the recommendations provided by medical professionals. Ultimately, every child is different. It's critical we remember that. Collaborating with both medical professionals and school personnel can lead to a comprehensive approach in supporting your child's well-being and educational journey. Always remember to advocate for your child's needs and seek guidance from qualified professionals as needed. Parents and Professionals -- What are your thoughts?

We see discipline issues constantly in Illinois. It's terrible to see incredible kids who aren't being supported get disciplined for manifestations of their disabilities such as sensory dysregulation (check out our video on "Is it Sensory or Is it Behavior?"), or the child does so as result of a school's failure to provide an appropriate education (FAPE). Either way, it's important to know your child and your rights!

There are federal laws (including under the IDEA, sites.ed.gov/idea/regs/b/f/300.613) and state laws (for instance Student Records Act). Every state is different, so we recommend you consult with a special education attorney in your area. But we have an example letter on our website: bit.ly/ExampleParentLetters and you can often find example requests request letters on the Federal & State special education sites.

I have two very different ASD sensory integration children 5-20 one hyper sensitive (like me) one hypo. The hypo sets off the hyper with his constant noises. I didn’t think about him “not looking when speaking” and making him look might distract his listening skills. He’s adhd too. Very insightful presentation thank you. Getting ready for IEP meeting that’s ignoring his sensory issues.

My 7 year old grandson has been diagnosed with ODD and ADHD and has had a long history of documented behaviors at school (Brockport School District), impulse control, bullying, threatening, hurting other children, stealing, etc. He has had a 504 Plan for years and is not receiving proper supports. I requested an IEP for him for pull-out therapy, a 1:1 aid during transitions and counseling. The school denied him an IEP because his ODD are only happening during transitions, specials, lunch and on the bus, while his behavior in the classroom and grades are average. In my opinion, the school is ignoring his disability and I am looking for an ODD expert who would be willing to consult on this matter as I appeal the school's decision. I am also hoping to find an attorney who has experience with dealing with ODD and the school system. Any help would be appreciated!

What can be done if there are things mentioned in my child's IEP that I do not agree with? His teacher won't change it either
@lexirowe3151 Жыл бұрын
What parts do you not agree with and what state do you live in? In most states the IEP represents the school’s offer of FAPE and a parent does not have to agree with it to be adjusted. Also, a parent can not request a teacher change the IEP without a team meeting in most cases as that would be a violation of your child’s rights under IDEA.
@BreakingAutismАй бұрын
You have the right to attach your Parent Input to the IEP for the record. Also, any emails or documents you send become part of your child’s records. Also, depending on the discrepancy and some other factors, you may have options on how you can dispute the notes. Here are some resources: - Keys to writing parental input: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZbOhaWHhbdqoKs - Video on requesting your student’s records to confirm your emails and input are included in the record: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6KZqaSQpb2Jnbs - Example letter to request records: www.breakingautism.com/workshops.html - Video on options for resolving special education disputes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3ilZax6qr6Sbrc Please check your state laws as well as understand your federal protections, and consider speaking to a specialized attorney or advocate in your area!

@@2024Miracle So happy to hear that! We highly encourage your read through your rights in WA as well as Federal rights under the IDEA. For instance, here are the rights to parents for access to records based on your State Legislature: app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=28A.605.030#:~:text=The%20parent%20or%20guardian%20of,as%20authorized%20by%20RCW%2028A. We were also able to find some guidance in your state, which is also linked below. We are not experts in your state and this is not legal advice; so we highly encourage you to reach out to a local agency or law firm. There are many agencies that provide legal guidance at no or very little cost in your state. Meanwhile, here is the example letter we were able to find: sealk12.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Requesting-Student-Records.pdf Best of luck!! Please let us know how it goes!

I shared with all my social media pages! How do we get schools to hire BCBA's. The US Surgeon General and American Psychological Association says ABA therapy is the best evidence based practice for kids with autism---but yet schools don't hire them or write them into a child's IEP. Instead they use social workers who are not certified behavior specials! BCBA's are all about tracking data--they use charts to monitor progress in the programs they write. Schools should use charts too--especially to show how that child is progressing compared to their general education peers. It is a shame how schools pass children on-- grade to grade--without doing grade level work. It is time for change to the cookie-cutter K-12 education system for children with special needs!
