Danny's IEP

A client sent this video to me. My client's son is autistic. The school district wants to move him away from his home school, where he attends with his twin sister. Instead, the district wants to educate him in a more restrictive setting in a distant school. We filed a special education due process request to keep him in the least restrictive environment.

In this video, a family in Maryland compellingly communicates to their son's IEP team how their son's autism affects his learning. They emphasize that their son can and does learn. He just learns differently than other children without autism.

The video provides an excellent primer on autism and special learning tools such as ABA. The video lasts about 9 minutes and 14 seconds.
