[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 744127, member: 18958"] From the school district's point of view, as few as possible. From the parent's, whatever you fight for. You can google this: autism spectrum IEP services, and see what comes up. Having an IEP offers another protection to children and their parents. If there should be a behavior issue, the school cannot easily discipline, suspend, expel the student with an IEP, if the behavior is substantially related to the qualifying condition. With this coach, you got a taste of what many parents and children have to go through. He got intimidated and backed off, who knows why. You mentioned your husband is his superior. Many times teachers do not back off. They scapegoat and can torment their students. The IEP means that if the child cannot learn in a regular setting, the school district must provide an alternative placement and pay whatever it costs to transport and educate the child. My son received non public school placement, and was taken 45 minutes each way in a taxi cab. School district paid. I had to fight them every step of the way. But I won for a time. I pulled him out of the district when eventually the school district prevailed. In our case we had to get services as my son was being bullied by his peers and by the teachers! He was being racially bullied as well. I had no choice. You do. You say your child is well-behaved and high-functioning and he certainly seems adorable. The likelihood is your son will not encounter serious problems. But you will remember, that you and he have important protections available to you, should you need them. If it were me I would have him evaluated and diagnosed, but I would not necessarily involve the school unless I had to. As long as things go well and he is treated with care. But I would be ready. Any Children's hospital in a Metro area will have a Child Development Department. This is a team and your child would be evaluated by a neuropsychologist, child psychiatrist, possibly a speech and language therapist, child neurologist and social worker. This is where I took my own son. Alternatively, you could contact your insurance, and they should have names. All you should need is a referral from your primary care physician or pediatrician. I would tell this doctor about what happened, and go from there. [/QUOTE]
