Autism is considered a neurological condition, as well as a 'developmental' disability.
You may know a lot about the medical/clinical aspects of Autism. But, you also need to know your Rights as a Person with a Disability(PWD). You may be surprised to learn that disability terms, special services, accommodations, etc... change as you age and depending on what are your adult pursuits(i.e., college, work, housing, suppoert, services,...)
How does the 1990 ADA protect me as a Person with a Disability?
What does the Rehabilitation Act provide for me as a Person with A Disability?
Is Section 504(Rehab Act) applicable for children and adults with disabilities?
How does the term 'disability' change criteria once PWDs are Adults?
Does the EEOC cover PwDs?
What happens when PWDs 'age out' of high school?
Will IDEA follow me to age 21?
What happens if a PWD choses vo-tech instead of college?
Does FAPE apply to PWDs in college?

Legislation & Parents Resource on Restraints and Seclusion
Update: SB 59 Passes in Louisiana!
Hi5! Restraints and Seclusion in LA schools will be governed by appropriate guidelines. The House passed this bill today.
Now, the Senate will fine tune it. Then, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, along with other key stakeholders, will make approriate rules that schools must adhere to.
Our Students will be more safe in school because LA Legislators listened to Students, Parents, Educators, advocacy groups, Senator Donahue, and concerned Constituents.
Which State or country will pass the next landmark Restraints and Seclusion legislation to protect our Students?
Oregon HB2939 or US Congress H.B. 1381, perhaps
ENJOY!
