Sorry if this repeats. I didn't see it post.

I strongly agree with the tie in between understanding sensory issues and teaching a child with autism. Yet, I have also seen this to be lacking in traditional special education training. It has led to many missteps in our childs education. It is also one of the key contributors to strain on the household, as the family life revolves around managing it.

Sorry about the delay. I was driving and then had to create an account. Please speak to the strain on familys with more severe cases of autism. I have heard statistics of 80% divorce rates. As a parent of a child with autism (Lake Oswego Middle School), I can speak to the non-stop stress a family goes through. We can not think about getting through the week, let alone what things are going to be like after our daughter reaches adulthood. By more severe, I mean holes in the wall, take a swing at the teacher severe.
