This past week, I had the privilege to meet with leaders from the learning disability, therapeutic, and autism schools from around the country at the Independent Education Consultants Association’s (IECA) National Spring Conference in Baltimore, MD. I was selected to give a presentation to this group on how educational consultants and school personnel can help families secure tuition reimbursement for the learning disability and therapeutic residential schools. When educational consultants and private schools know how to help families effectively communicate with their school districts prior to speaking with an attorney, families are in a much stronger position to be successful in obtaining school district funding.
For example:
A non-verbal person is less likely to verbally disrupt fellow coworkers;
Limited social interest will result in staying more focused on work and not wasting time;
A person with strong sensory preferences may enjoy working in a quiet office;
A very schedule or rule bound person will likely come to work on time, take breaks at the right time, and return from breaks on time;
Ritualistic or compulsive type people may offer excellent attention to detail and quality control.
