Children with ASD often qualify for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a Section 504 plan. Each of these programs promotes support for students to access their learning environment.
Anyone on the IEP team can suggest accommodations: Teachers, behavior analysts, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and even parents and administrators. Each student should have accommodations in place to best support their unique needs. Common adaptations fall into the cognitive, sensory, behavioral, emotional, and communication domains.
Creating IEP accommodations is a collaborative process. Different disciplines will bring a unique perspective on supporting the child with an autism spectrum disorder. It is helpful to attend the meeting with suggestions and ideas but stay open-minded to hear views from the entire team.
