On Insitute Day, February 5 our teaching assistants had the opportunity to attend a workshop on Autism Spectrum Disorders. They were inserviced on techniques that are most effective when working with these students in the classroom.

FYI - There is guide for parents entitled "A Parents Guide" which is the educational rights of students with disabilities. This the "the blue book" of special education and is developed by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) for parents to learn about the educational rights of children who have disabilities and receive special education services. The ISBE website is available on line at www.isbe.net. In addition click on to www.ccsd66.org and access the special education link under our schools for more helpful information.
