Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 So, I've been following along with the conversation about the college age kids. What kind of supports did they have when they were younger?My Aspie is currently in 5th grade, and having a ton of issues. He's on a 504, but it does practically nothing. It does extend time for written assignments and tests. That's it. There is nothing for his social skills, higher order functions or anything else most Aspies deal with. I'm very frustrated with it, and have gotten a book to see what kind of supports the schools can and should provide. The book is called School Success for Kids with Asperger's Syndrome by Stephan Silcerman and Rich Weinfeld. I've been focused on Chapter 6 because it describes some of the strategies used by school systems. After reading the chapter and listing what I fell Adam needs, I feel that my son is being failed by the school system.I would seriously put the whole list of things, but I'm still trying to process it all. Once I get it condensed and organized a bit better I may list the areas seperately to see what other kids have support-wise for those issues.Fawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
