[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 108558, member: 3388"] difficult child 2 was recently diagnosed with Asperger's Syndome too. (Although difficult child 1 is also an Aspie, he is much higher functioning than difficult child 2. We really haven't asked for much help from our SD with difficult child 1. As a result, I'm also just learning what services the SD should provide for difficult child 2.) It took us four months to get an appropriate IEP for difficult child 2. And, even now, I truly believe he needs more services than the SD is willing or able to give him. We managed to get him weekly counseling sessions to deal with all of his behavioral problems. He is also in an after school social skills program. We put him in classes that are co-taught by the classroom teacher and a sped teacher. We are hoping that in a co-taught classroom, his behavioral problems will finally be addressed instead of having the staff walk on eggshells around him and try to avoid outbursts as in the past. We are going to meet after the first of the year to write a transition plan for him as he'll be 16 in about four months. I'm very concerned he isn't going to get all the help he needs with daily living skills through our SD. In fact, I was going to post about this tonight but am really tired so will probably be back here tomorrow. Personally, I would love to have difficult child 2 in a private school taught by specialists in Autism. However, I don't have the money to send him to one or to fight for an out of district placement. I'll be keeping an eye on this post. I hope you're able to get your difficult child the services he needs. WFEN [/QUOTE]
