My 3 year old son is awaiting assessments and possible diagnosis of autism. Right now as it is, in this limbo period (which could be years, my son does not meet the criteria for an SNA, but that doesn’t limit his need for extra help. He struggles with emotional regulation, change, and he struggle socially immensely. He uses these supports. To learn that funding is being cut for such is really, really heartbreaking news. My son CAN thrive, he just needs extra support. If he loses these classroom supports, it could be crucial to his development as we wait for assessments.
