March is here - it is time to have those discussions about extended school year services, if they haven't already occurred. Decisions need to be made in time for teams to be able to make plans and commit resources.
I have attached some resources that Sue Baker, state autism consultant recently shared with me. She states, "I would only add that my lending library has Velcro books for young kids, toy units, and sensory materials that can be borrowed to facilitate skill use (generalization) across different materials. They require someone, such as EYS provider or parent, to structure interactions with the materials. The inventory lists are attached."
Our speech communication paras can assist with children on the autism spectrum to provide additional hours/consistency in the home. Of course, if the child is 3 and on an IEP, the district would need to make arrangements to pay the para during the EYS.
