Description

CLE Information May 2021

This course was approved for NOSSCR's Spring 2021 Virtual Conference. It is eligible for On-Demand credit, please check with karyn.reffsin@nosscr.org if you have questions about your states eligibility or check with your Bar Association for their rules and regulations.


This program will focus on establishing disability for anyone from childhood to adult with psychological/cognitive issues from either a physical or mental impairment. One example will describe individual who suffer from autism or autism spectrum diagnoses. We will make an in depth look at IEP’s, 504 plans, and IPP’s and address what they mean and how can they help prove either a child or adult case. We will breakdown the various aspects of these plans to show how they provide a wealth of information to show a child’s functional deficits and supports needed to succeed in a school or community setting and how this can prove your case. We will also make suggestions on how to use these deficits, etc. once the child reaches adulthood. In addition to the school information, we will include actual case studies with examples of supporting evidence, briefs, and decisions. We will also address the importance of early planning and development in cases such as autism where medical and educational support is paramount. We will include good examples of other evidence to support the claim, suggestions to overcome preconceived ideas about autism or other complicated impairments, and touch on who can and cannot function sufficiently in a work setting.
