[QUOTE="Janna, post: 98859, member: 2737"] Exactly, SW. My son is Autistic. That doesn't mean he gets "extra" if he doensn't need it. So my question to you would be, what does your son NEED? Does he need Occupational Therapy and isn't getting it? Speech therapy? An aide? What? If the IEP is already tailored to your son and he's doing well, the school doesn't have to give you anything else. So, for example, if he NEEDS Occupational Therapy, isn't getting it, the school is being difficult, you get an O.T. evaluation AND the AS diagnosis, he would get the O.T. But they're not going to say "oh, little difficult child is Asbergers so now we're gonna give him this, this, this and that". Although sometimes I wish it was that way LOL! [/QUOTE]
