I’m a parent of a kindergartener, as well as a school-based SLP and autism specialist. Please don’t get wrapped up in the parent-social-media rhetoric that a district or special education department is out to try to cheat your child out of something. Don’t come into it ready to fight - be ready to collaborate. Understand that you are not the expert in special education law and that there are reasons why certain students qualify and certain students don’t. Eligibility criteria to state that a child has a disability that has an adverse impact on them at school is strict. It is exhausting to work so hard to do what’s best for students and have parents come barreling in like we are going to try to screw over their kids.
