At your child’s IEP, you can ask to discuss the possibility of extended school year services and the IEP team will make this determination. Your child’s teacher will need to take data prior to the IEP to show that your child regression after returning from a break (either the weekend or holiday).
For more information about these services and parent rights, you can refer to the Parents Reaching Out Publications or call Parents Reaching Out at (800) 524-5176 or (505) 247-0192.
Keep in mind that a discussion about extended school year services should occur at your child’s IEP because it is one of the “11 considerations”. The 11 considerations are a mandated discussion to occur during the IEP for a child who has a diagnosis of ASD.
For more information about the 11 considerations or for informational briefs on this subject or other resources, call the Autism Family and Provider Resource Team at (800) 270-1861 or (505) 272-1852.
