[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 318862, member: 1233"] Tictoc listed some great things. You should also post this on the Special Education forum. Those ladies are the real experts on school issues. FWIW, I would speak to your daughter's doctor and ask them to change her diagnosis to one that more closely shows autism. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified IS an autism spectrum disorder, so the regional place should be a source of help and therapy, in my opinion. I have noticed here that many places are doing all they can to NOT provide services because they have had so many funding cuts. As for the IEP, make sure you read the Explosive Child again (skim it) to keep those principles in mind. Maybe offer to give a copy to any teacher/staff person who will read it? Or just one copy for the library? (you can find inexpensive copies of most books at [url]www.abebooks.com[/url] or alibris.com ) If you have a Parent Report be sure you update it and make copies of whatever info you want school to have. You DO NOT have to give them any or all of it. I would maybe prepare an executive summary of it and share that rather than the full report. Many here have had it used against them when they shared the entire report. If you don't have a Parent Report, I urge you to complete one. It will help you think of things that will help her. It is just a report that you write about her, with all the info that you have received from all the "experts". Long ago some parents here came up with it and it is truly helpful in getting what your child needs.
