Session Details: Participants will be informed about the current diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Discussion will address Individual Education Program (IEP) goals along with strategies and possible methodologies for educating children identified on the Autistic Spectrum. A comparison between services received through the Autism Scholarship Program and public school IEP programs also will be discussed.

The Special Education Legal Clinic offers parents and guardians an opportunity to meet with a special education advocate or attorney in an open and welcoming environment to ask questions and discuss specific challenges related to education. Clinic staff members and volunteers will help guide parents and guardians through the special education process and provide resources to request and secure special education services, including educational recovery services and/or extended learning needed because of the 2020-21 pandemic.

The Clinic includes a group workshop followed by individual guidance sessions. Attendees may participate in-person or virtually.
