In-District Autism Consultant Training - Project ACCESS - Missouri State University
In-District Autism Consultant Training - Project ACCESS - Missouri State University
To receive In-District Autism Consultant training, individuals must have completed six days of autism specific training; i.e.: the two-day Introduction to Autism, followed by the four-day Working with Autistic Students in the Schools (WASS) or the four-day Early Intervention for Young Children with Autism (EIYCA).
This means no matter what your child's doctor says a person that has received 12 days of training decides if your child has educational autism.

Feds Crack Down On Schools Skirting Disabilities Act - Disability Scoop
Feds Crack Down On Schools Skirting Disabilities Act - Disability Scoop
What’s more, under the recent law, a student may be eligible for special education services even if they are already performing well in school so long as they have an impairment that “substantially limits a major life activity,” according to documentation included in the Education Department correspondence.
Given the expanded definition of disability, districts now have an obligation to evaluate a wider swath of students for special education services, the Education Department told schools. And, such evaluations are supposed to be quick and simple. In the guidance, federal officials are urging schools to ensure that their evaluations don’t require “extensive analysis” in order to determine whether or not a disability is present.

Second teacher at L.A. school accused of 'lewd acts' against pupils - CNN.com
Los Angeles (CNN) -- Another teacher has been arrested at Miramonte Elementary School in Los Angeles on allegations of lewd acts on young pupils, authorities said Friday.
Capt. Mike Parker of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said that Friday's arrest is "quite different" from the arrest earlier this week of another teacher, Mark Berndt.
Berndt, 61, was accused of taking bondage photos of more than two dozen students in his classroom, some showing suspected semen-filled spoons at the children's mouths, authorities said.
Investigators from the special victims bureau arrested the second teacher, Martin Bernard Springer, 49, of Alhambra, California, on Friday, Parker told reporters. Springer's arrest came after investigators received "new information" on Thursday morning that led them to the teacher.
