Evaluating New Students
Video Summary
Sandy Pih, an early intervention teacher, discusses how individualized learning plans are designed for each child in her classroom based on their parent's primary concerns, an initial evaluation of the child's skills and Ms. Pih's expert knowledge of common deficits in children with autism spectrum disorders.
"More often than not, parents are saying that their children are not responding his or her name or making eye contact...so I know that is a program they are going to need. "
