Yes, he does have an IEP that probably needs a lot more fine tuning than it currently contains, as far as accommodations. Right now it has scribe for testing as the only in-class accommodation. I think he needs to have assignments written down for him. If he goes to G&T middle, I would love for him to have some quiet lunch space.

They just added tutoring for writing, but this is pull-out with someone who doesn't really know anything about the unique challenges of AS kids. Also, it doesn't contain anything about social skills classes. He is getting counseling, but its on perfectionism, not pragmatic language. Pragmatic language is supposed to be added, but I think his current school plans to have the speech therapist do this, and she is not trained in AS.

In our state, IEP is only for weaknesses, not for giftedness.
