Your Child's Individual Education Plan
You probably learned shortly after your child’s diagnosis of Autism how quickly life can change. Suddenly, your schedule is filled with appointments and assessments regarding their treatment, and soon you can’t wait for those appointments to start changing your child’s life.
You may ask yourself: What type of therapy should my child get? How many hours a week are sufficient? What if I don’t agree with the services provided? Unfortunately, Nevada’s educational system ranks 48th in the nation and children with Autism are no exception to the rule.
ACT Now Nevada can help you understand the IEP and IFSP process so that you don’t feel overwhelmed or pushed into accepting terms you don’t agree with. The first part of getting an effective treatment plan outlined for your child is to understand the details in your current document. You may decide your child needs more services in some areas of treatment and less in others, and we can help you to feel confident when asking for those changes.
Parental Advocacy is so important. Sometimes the only way to ensure your child is getting what they deserve is to have professional advocacy involved at your IEP/IFSP meetings. ACT Now Nevada combines over 18 years of experience in IEP and IFSP planning for families, and strives to help those that feel lost or inundated in the process.
As your Family Consultant we will strongly communicate your desire for specific services including, but not limited to; speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis, behavior modification, Relationship Development Intervention, etc. It is our goal that you fully understand the options available for your child, so that you can make wise and informed decisions regarding their treatment.
