Educating Children on the Autism Spectrum
Simply Give - A unit of CfA Society
The school must evaluate the child for a suspected disability, develop an individualized education plan (IEP)
Provide related services (speech, OT, Sensory Integration) as indicated by the evaluation
The role of the evaluation is to identify if an educational disability exists, NOT to make a medical diagnosis
The educational evaluation team must include a professional with knowledge and experience in the area of autism
