In-District Autism Consultant Training - Project ACCESS - Missouri State University
In-District Autism Consultant Training - Project ACCESS - Missouri State University
To receive In-District Autism Consultant training, individuals must have completed six days of autism specific training; i.e.: the two-day Introduction to Autism, followed by the four-day Working with Autistic Students in the Schools (WASS) or the four-day Early Intervention for Young Children with Autism (EIYCA).
This means that no matter what your child's doctor might say a person with 12 days of training decides if your child has educational autism.

Who Decides If Your Child Receives SSI?
My son's SSI was denied today. They based their information on a 30 minute consult and what the school district report said. In Missouri the Department of Education makes those determinations. REALLY!!! The same people that screwed up his future have now decided that he is capable of supporting himself. Can you say injustice?!!
They stated, “The medical evidence shows that you are impaired, and that your activities are restricted by your condition. While you have little or no work history, you are still able to perform work that is not very demanding." Where will we be finding that job?

Feds Crack Down On Schools Skirting Disabilities Act - Disability Scoop
Feds Crack Down On Schools Skirting Disabilities Act - Disability Scoop
What’s more, under the recent law, a student may be eligible for special education services even if they are already performing well in school so long as they have an impairment that “substantially limits a major life activity,” according to documentation included in the Education Department correspondence.
Given the expanded definition of disability, districts now have an obligation to evaluate a wider swath of students for special education services, the Education Department told schools. And, such evaluations are supposed to be quick and simple. In the guidance, federal officials are urging schools to ensure that their evaluations don’t require “extensive analysis” in order to determine whether or not a disability is present.
