Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings are complex and can be overwhelming for parents to navigate alone. It is difficult, even for the most knowledgeable parent, to know what services must be provided to meet the unique educational needs of his/her child.
Currently AASD only accepts cases on behalf of students with autism eligibility rulings. We hope to be able to serve clients with other eligibility rulings in the future.
AASD will ensure children with autism are provided the opportunity to receive appropriate social skills training, occupational therapy, communication services, behavioral therapy, counseling services and all other appropriate services to address each child’s unique needs.
AASD will ensure children with intellectual disabilities are provided with the opportunity to receive appropriate communication services, assistive technology services, accommodations, modifications and all other appropriate services to address each child’s unique needs.
AASD will ensure children with dyslexia are provided the opportunity to receive evidence based dyslexia therapy services and all other appropriate services to address each child’s unique needs
AASD will ensure children with mental health disabilities are provided with the opportunity to receive appropriate counseling, behavioral supports and services and all other appropriate services to address each child’s unique needs.
