@BJD21 you said "How much does it cost to bring in The Autism Project to work with teachers throughout the year?" Totally agree -with the bucks they are probably paying that person to consult with Trained, Experienced teachers they could hire three teacher assistants which is really what is needed to meet the students needs (and teachers!). Crazy! I suppose a professional hired from the Autism Project makes the Big Wigs look good!! Having advice from the Autism Project wont help if the environment and supports are not in place! Its all a bunch of BS!! Mr O'Keefe needs to visit classrooms with special needs populations and see how these children learn!
