Special Education

I have a 14year old autistic son. He is currently in 8th grade. I am very frustrated with the public school system in my area. I want my son to have the best education that I can possiblly get him.

My son broke both bones in his forearm and has been in a full cast for 9 weeks. He will have the cast removed next week, and I am concerned about his handwriting. He is in second grade and the class began cursive while he was unable to write. I have asked the public school for OT to help remediate him. They want to have a child study to evaluate if he needs a 504. What information can you give me that will help when I go to the meeting?

Moon is another written style for the blind
it is mostly taught to people who go blind later in life
Not all blind students can learn braille as they don't have the senitvived in their fingers

I'm having a problem with my sons school giving him the services he needs . He should be getting OT/SPEECH in school instead of getting them from outside sources. I'm thinking of requesting a meeting for a 504 plan. Once I do this what all documentation needs to be given? His disability is a TBI.

I am about to leave secondary school and go to college but I have been told that afterwards it would be best to go to a film school (I want to be a film director). I am studying Film Studies, Media Studies, Photography, Business Studies at A Level and Video Production as an Enrichment course. I also have some experience in working on films but need advice.

This is probably odd for a 22 year old to bring up but may be the problems I am having are because of dyslexia or perhaps bad memory and grammer? I am at university so things are difficult.

I find it difficult to understand what I read complicated books. When I try to take notes in a lecture my writing is so scruffy I can't read it. Normally my writing is not like this but I find the lectures too fast. Either I am bad at spelling or I keep on spelling words like decieve, or concieve wrong. Thank god for spell checker.
To revise I have to write out the same thing over and over and over again so I can at least remember some of it. At high school the only C's I got were in Math, Art, RE.
So could I be dyslexic?

I've heard that we have some of the highest requirments in the USA. I would like to hear what the other state requirments are. California has a 2 level program with 30 units post BA for level 1, good for 5 years, and another 20 units plus 2 years teaching experience to achieve level 2. But Special education teachers do not need a regular ed credential.

I am usually a member of the IEP team for special education, especially during the testing and results of assessement. What information would you liked explained more to you? What information would you like that you are not getting? I am just wanting the perspective of a parent. Please no general rants on how school systems are out to get all of us.

I'm in 11th grade now and I have always thought of myself as just being extremely shy because I didn't know there was such thing as asperger. I found out about asprger because my mom was reading an article on it and told me she thought i may have it. she listed acouple of things that I do that i have always done and i really don't know why
have trouble making eye contact
obsesion with certain subjects(history,current events)
trouble speaking to peers
ackward in social peer situations(school...with my brother and his friends...classmates)
I remember yelling at my mom because i didn't want to go to a dance that was at my school even though my brother was going and I knew he would watch out for me. i ended up not going
i have trouble just looking at someone and saying hi or just smiling. i don't really have many facial gestures
i prefer talking with adults about things like history and current events because they are more aware of these things than my peers what do you thi
