🔑 Key Takeaways:
You don’t have to do this alone:
- Take The First Step: The first step is to start with a mental health professional. They can help you understand a diagnosis and what to expect in the near future as far as the process goes. They may even be able to help with more testing.
- Forget The Term High Functioning: Use this as a reminder that you need to monitor how you communicate and make sure that your preferred methods of communication are being considered.
- The Three Key Areas Of The IEP: Present levels for both academic and functional performance, the annual goals, which should be clear and attainable, and appropriate modifications and accommodations for your student. Make sure all three are there!
