Re: Take a look and see if this would make a difference...

I like one, two and three. BUT I am concerned that if we pass bills which

are disability specific, other children ho could benefit from the same

treatments and protections will be excluded. IE: Children with FAS and

Fragile X also can benefit from the same educational milieu as those with

ASD.

Sara,

Excellent point. As much as I have been trying to move forward on

this at times I overlook things that make so much sense as you stated

it would be detrimental to other children if it was disability

specific. I will make changes to the Draft and will have to do alot

more research. I am upset beyond words right now and will post about

why as I don't want it under this subject heading. It has to do with

my non verbal son w/Autism.

A very important and strong point, Sara.

In my view, legislation needs to be written based on a bigger view

than one disability. Even individuals within a disability label vary

widely in the types of support that work best.

Of course (!) abuse,neglect, and compliance-based education are bad

for all.
