An IEP is critical in getting a proper education for anyone who is even somewhat off the norm in a public education setting. John has had one since 2nd grade.

I forget when I started receiving one but I had a special ed teacher helping me as early as kindergarten. I didn’t get my ASD diagnosis until 10th grade though. I really think the IEP program helps because there were some classes where I benefited from smaller class size and a teacher who had experience with students with disabilities. Others namely social studies I shined in regardless of class size hence why it’s called an Individualized Education Plan. Those who rag on public education have no idea about how those have helped people like me and your son.
