Autism, a complex biological disorder that typically lasts a lifetime, is thought of as a “developmental disability.” It begins and is detected in a child’s developmental period, prior to age 3, and can trigger dramatic difficulties with development, growth and education.

Autism And Educational Opportunity
My New York special education law firm’s experience with autism education services has taught me that autism can affect:
Communication, verbal and nonverbal
Repetitive behaviors: repeating words or actions, obsessively following routines, exhibiting specific ways of arranging belongings
Social interaction, physical and verbal
Health care providers, teachers and anyone else who comes in contact with an autistic child may have a great amount of difficulty “getting through.” Hence, the critical need for special education for autistic children.
Today, autism is thought of as a “spectrum” disorder. Instead of amounting to a single condition, it’s considered a group of conditions with a variety of similar features. Physicians employ a term like autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, to describe people with mild to severe symptoms. ASD can include:
Asperger’s syndrome
Atypical autism
Rett syndrome
Autistic disorder
Childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD)
Pervasive developmental disorder
I am a New York special education and disability lawyer with years of experience and many satisfied clients. I will apply my extensive legal knowledge and skills to protect your child’s right to autism education services. I can help.
