[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 529681, member: 1550"] In Wisconsin (all states are different) if a ST says a child has autism it will not hold up. It has to be somebody beyond that. Same with an Occupational Therapist (OT). At least, not where I've had my kids in schools. And not according to the Dept. of Public Education. I think you need to learn the rules of your state. I see cultural differences here more than state differences. In the US, we do it differently than in Canada and France and our kids also can get a lot of help at school (if we play our cards right...so that's what we have to do). Any child with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) will get an IEP and lots of help. Without the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) diagnosis, however, I am not convinced Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) or Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) or ABC would be accommodated. It seems as though in both Canada and France there isn't Occupational Therapist (OT) and PT's and social classes in the school...seems the parent has to find them privately and then take the child for help outside of school. This is very different from what we do here. JMO...each person has to think about what works in THEIR environment. Since Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has so many symptoms there is no way a ST or Occupational Therapist (OT), who specialize in one field, could make a good diagnosis. of that. I sure wouldn't trust one. They can maybe diagnose part of a whole...one symptom in a disorder. They also can not rule anything out. [/QUOTE]
