Autism/Downs kids with IEPs/school

Anyone with special needs kids being asked to do virtual learning this year? Not sure how this would be possible. Any recourse?

Private school

Yes. Did virtual at end of last year and it was unproductive for our child with autism. He is going back in person this year. Private school does not have to honor IEPs or provide any services/resources and usually do not because it is not cost effective for them. There are a few out there though.

Same story for me and last year. Starting virtually this year (continuing with public school). I don’t want to be the a-hole that has to get a lawyer involved, but it may come to that.

Private school
The few that do are absolutely full up right now
For the Op, fight like hell, call people, pester like a mother fricker to get your kid in somewhere. Don’t take no for an answer
Saw my co-worker had to do this for her autistic daughter to get her in where she needed to be. Seemed fricked up to me how little options there are in Louisiana. When I lived in Nashville my cousin had options galore (she had downs)

I feel for you Ric. I have one on the spectrum, and thank God he is in a school that's going forward with normal classroom attendance.
ETA: One poster above said you have to fight like hell to get things done. I would say you have to fight like a pack of Hyenas to get things done for your child.

You must not be in Ascension. Mine has an IEP and he's at school every day. This may be a stupid question but have you checked with the school board?

Any kid with a disability as severe as ASD should be in school full time.
I would deal with the school and school board in writing and get a lawyer if they refuse to have him/ her there for in person learning.
Kids on the ASD - cannot learn online. Social interaction is essential.

Our school is opening, but I think that many kids with ASD and other disorders will find it hard to cope with the safety procedures put in place. All students and teachers will be required to wear masks. It will be extremely hard for students to hear and read facial expressions. Familiar routines will be turned upside down and I fear that many students who thrived pre-covid will regress or develop new behaviors as a result.

Have a sibling with special needs. He’s out of school now but know a lot of parents that still have children that are school age. Was talking to one of them last week, the district they were in basically said all summer they weren’t planning on offering any schooling for special needs students. A lot of these parents had hired tutors to take care of them this school year. They got an email the Friday before school started stating the special ed program could resume as normal.
My brother was lucky to go to a school that treated special ed students as equals. But you want to piss me off, ask me about how most districts handle these kids.

Mine is on home bound due to medical issues
She still gets IEP
We just held her back and she’s repeating 8th grade to all of this and then she can go to high school

We still haven’t been given a clear answer regarding our son who required speech therapy from Pre-K until now, he starts 2nd grade next Monday. The speech therapy he received made a huge difference. I don’t know if it’s going to happen this year when the kid’s are only going 2 days a week but I hope it does.

For students with an IEP if the parent decides to do virtual they get more 1 on 1 time with teachers during what would normally be their enrichment or PE time

God bless all of you and your beautiful children! I admire your families so much and wish you all the best.

There are clear masks available for teachers to wear. Helps with that as well as for deaf patients who read lips for communication assistance.

Autism is very different from Downs, no?

No, it’s the same thing...of course it is different, but most kids affected with either condition have an IEP. So I didn’t want to limit the responses to only Autism.
A similar example would be me asking if there is a wheelchair ramp at xyz restaurant. I would probably ask both paraplegics as well as people with bilateral above knee amputations to get more responses.
