Re: new here/ADHD-TS and Aspergers?/IEP

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Since no one responded, i guess that no one else is dealing with all three of these as a diagnosis? Too bad i was hoping for some guidance.

I was wondering what everyone has in their IEPs.

This is what we have just based on Jonny's ADHD and "other issues" as they were yet to be diagnosed at the time of the IEP.

He has Speach 2x a week

he has special ed for math and reading (needs smaller groups for concentration reasons)

he will be retested for PT and OT

once a week he has guidance

What else would be typical for a child with Aspergers?

any help would be much appriciated on this as we may have to re-do the IEP with this new dx....

Hi, My name is and my son was recently diagnosed with Aspergers and Tourette Syndrome. He also has ADHD. Jonny is 6. Getting the diagnosis has been a bit overwhelming. Particularly since i was told that he probably had PDD-NOS rather than Aspergers two weeks before...The tourettes i have been pretty sure of for a while now, but we had to wait to get that dx for a while too. anyone with experience with having all 3 of these? mom of Jonny 6 with TS, ADHD, and apparently Aspergers too and 12 with CF

What does your child need? For instance:

1. Modified tests

2. Extended time for tests and projects

3. Tests read orally

4. Smaller setting to take the tests

5. Chunking of work...so that it is not overwhelming

6. the ability to take a walk or go to a quiet area when stressed

7. Reading help...special reading programs ...

8. Adapted Gym

9 Speech

10. OT

11. Copy of all the notes

12. Study guides

13 One-to-One (paraprofessional)

14 Re-take on failed tests

15 Modified homework

16 Seating preference in classroom

17. Re-phrasing of questions or directions, if not understood

18. Homework planner signed

19. Assistance with organization

20 Social Skills training (if available)

21 What does your child need help in ....math, reading, English, etc.

22. What are the goals for your child...they must be measurable.

Where and when does your child need these modifications...in all classes or just certain classes.

I believe if you go to s Law ...they have a book on IEPs that you can purchase....I was considering doing that.

I really like the sLaw website. I found this helpful on their website, its the "First 100 Day Tool Kit" article.http://www.autismspeaks.org/docs/family_services_docs/100_day_kit.pdf---- On Mon, 11/15/10, rushen janice <jrushen@...> wrote:From: rushen janice <jrushen@...>Subject: Re: ( ) new here/ADHD-TS and Aspergers?/IEP Date: Monday, November 15, 2010, 4:01 PM

– Sorry you didn’t get the response you wanted.  My 20yo son has several diagnoses (Aspergers, ADHD, mood disorder).  I am not sure they are all “separate†issues or interrelated.  Not sure it really matters.  What is the most important thing is to base his IEP on his “needs†versus a specific diagnosis.  While many people with Aspergers share many common traits they also have many differences.  For example, some Aspies are quite social and crave friends, others are more loners and are perfectly happy by themselves.  So, again, the IEP needs to address areas that your son struggles with, e.g., small reading groups due to concentration issues, “chunking†work/projects into smaller pieces so he is not overwhelmed, help with organizational skills, PT for handwriting or fine motor deficits, etc.  Hope this info helps.

Hi , most AS kids will greatly benefit from a social skills group- but the best way to go is one specifically geared towards kids with AS.
