Last week I joined a meeting of the Loudoun County Autism Network. They are working right now to promote an Autism Summit taking place next Monday July 27th at Lansdowne. The purpose of the summit is in part to build support for VA House Bill 83, which would mandate that Health Insurance companies in Virginia pay for services for individuals with Autism.
During that meeting several parents expressed frustration with getting LCPS to provide the kind of teaching that they feel their children need, but several also expressed their great appreciation for the work that their kids' teachers and principals do. One parent also asked me if there is a recognition program for exceptional special education teachers. To my knowledge there is not, but it sounded like a great idea. It's an idea I'll talk more about in a later post.
