Under the U.S. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), children with special needs (including autism) are entitled to receive certain services through their school system, depending on their situation.
IDEA is a law that spells out the rights and requirements for the public education of children with special needs, including children with autism. The law is complicated, and includes detailed responsibilities of parents and schools. This article is in a question-and-answer format written by a lawyer who specializes in these issues. The article discusses details about individualized educational programs (IEP), functional behavior assessments (FBA), and behavior intervention plans (BIP).

Responding to homeopathy
Feb 23, 2010 by AnonymousI am James K. Feldman, Attorney at Law, located 1115 Tall Grass Circle, Stow, Ohio 44224, telephone (330) 920-1507, personal email: JimFriend@aol.com I was born May 30,1938 with Asperger's and Tourette's syndormes, and was treated for these disorders with sparse success with phenothiazine and benzodiasapine drugs, megavitamin therapy and psychological counselling until December, 1996. At that point in time I was prescribed homeopathic treatment by the Family Holistic Health Center, 556 West Portage Trail, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 44223, telephone (330) 923-3060. Their modality of therapy is best described at the website: www.drugfreeasperger.com Before starting treatment I was unable to practice law. I had needed to drop out of the Akron Universityh Law School 9 times in 14 years before graduating in 1975, and had barely passed the bar exam by the skin of my teeth. Since I have been treated with homeopathy, I have been able to practice successfully in this profession and I have participated in many activities in behalf of folks with autism spectrum disorder and do extensive writing on the subject. My higly detailed case history and all material I have written is available free upon request. Among the homeopathic remedies which I was administered in succession were Anacardium, Stramonium, Lyssin, Sulphur and Calcium carbonate. These can be checked out on the internet by entering the name of each one of them after the word "homeopathy".
