This is a post that I don't want to write, but it is better to plan ahead and not need the material. It is critical to discuss in advance what type of reaction to have when a teen or young adult decides to leave the household in the middle of the night without money, a reliable phone, and without giving anyone notice. This story had a happy ending and the outreach department did a welfare check to determine that our son was safe.  https://twitter.com/RSO/status/1423009471039631360     please contact Sheriff’s Dispatch at 760-836-3215.

http://hespclinic.umd.edu/signa-social-group.html Support provides a weekly four hours of counseling and interaction, supervised by UMD communications disorders teaching staff. This includes peer mentoring, group meetings, outings, and assessments and therapy. The support team tailors the program to the student's course schedule, preferences for clubs, and interest in group outings. Payment is comparable to that of what a student tutor would charge, which is about half of the common hourly rate for speech therapy in the area. https://issuu.com/bsosumd/docs/umd_magazine_2017_web

The standard answer has been any of handwriting is no longer essential we teach our students to keyboard  a future employer or college will not require legible handwriting you can always get an accommodation to use a word processor Here is the result -- frustration and lower grades at university (click to enlarge).

Request an accommodation so that your course instructor can add your coach onto the course website (e.g. Moodle, ELMS, Canvas) to have access to the current syllabus. Disambiguate terms that different parts of the university use differently. Rather than say, "Request an accommodation three business days before an exam," state the day of the week on which to make the request.  For example, Friday and Saturday exams have the SAME request day, which is Tuesday.  The testing center scheduling software considers Saturday not to be a business day,  but the university often does consider Saturday to be a regular business day when it comes to exams.

Always ask first! "May I give you my wallet card?" Do not put your hands in your pocket. Face the officer. Free, customized card -  https://www.justdigit.org/wallet-cards/  with  Watch how to use .  ( donate ) http://www.aane.org/resources/wallet-card/    A person with an  Asperger profile  may want to  disclose  when interacting with a "first responder." (i.e., a police officer, firefighter, or emergency medical technician.) This kind of disclosure may be especially hard, because the situation may be an emergency, or one in which you feel threatened or unsafe. If you are an adult or teen with an  Asperger profile , we suggest that you carry a copy of the card below in your wallet at all times, to use in such difficult situations. Be sure to write on the back of the card the names and telephone numbers of two people who know you, and who explicitly agree to serve as emergency contacts for you if you ever find yourself in a dif...

MCPS tried to account for why a student would have vocal cord nodules from the age of three, even with speech therapy that failed to help with self-perception of loudness.  Kennedy Krieger chose appropriate objective assessments to confirm the diagnosis.  Gratitude to the professionals who followed through with their hunches! The remaining child educators and clinicians pointed to the child's hoarseness or loud voice, refusing to look at the over-all picture of the child's difficulty interacting with changes in his environment. Schools asked the child to engage in self-reflection; sent the parents for more speech evaluations; asked the child to remain outside the classroom to pray alone while the class prayed with their rebbe ; and required the parents to sign a statement that the child would refrain from wearing clothes that were tight. There was no discussion of whether the preference for tight clothing was a sensory compensation engendered by a rigid environment. It ...
