[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 744089, member: 1550"] Our sons school district paid for the social skills, occupational therapy and physical therapy. If your son gets a diagnosis, and I think he is probably on the spectrum, you get a school IEP and the school has to pay for everything that helps him. FAPE says so Crayola, I understand you teach gifted kids. It is a whole different ball game if a child has a disability, such as autism, even if the child is intelligent. We never paid a dime and our son really benefitted from all the interventions. All these services happened in school. But....you need a diagnosis to get help. I suggest a neuro psychologist who is private....i do not trust schools to throughly diagnose our kids, especially those who may fall through the cracks because they are not behavior problems. Schools have an agenda....they dont want to spend money on our kids. I never put my kid's diagnoses into the hands of any school person. We went to the table with an advocate and results from good but private professionals. Thats another thing. Dont go to meetings about your kid alone. Bring a free advocate. Call the Dept. Of Public Education and they will give you the name of yours. We all have one but school districts dont let us know about them. I credit my sons school and amazing teachers and aide with his great adult life. Just love them all! [/QUOTE]
