[QUOTE="spedconsultant, post: 424826, member: 11868"] Hi, I would request an IEP meeting and outline the areas you have concern and then talk to the team about ways to help create an IEP that supports your child's anxiety. There is a lot on the internet about tips for IEPs and Anxiety. I would also ask for a consultant with expertise in AS, because they will understand how anxiety manifests in children with AS. She probably needs more speech sessions that are designed to talk about communication/ social ques, nuances, etc. I would also consider putting in a session with guidance of the school psychiatric to help teach strategies to manage anxiety. You can also put in supports such as a daily schedule, build in extra breaks if needed, etc. Someone should observe her to see if noise contributes to anxiety, disruptions, etc. And look at social skills. There are many sights out there to support AS children. IDEA clearly supports both academic and functional areas, if your child has so much anxiety about school at the beginning of the day, it's certainly something your school should be working with you on. It's not about behavior, she communicating that that IEP isn't working. You may need to request evaluation in the area of anxiety, social skills, communication to help the team have the information needed to support her. [/QUOTE]
