Persons living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder have the right to a free and appropriate public education. All school personnel should be trained in the nature of autism spectrum disorders as well as effective intervention strategies if they are expected to be successful at their jobs. Children with an autism spectrum disorder deserve to receive an education that is best suited for their learning strengths and learning challenges. Each child’s education should be free of prejudice, free of unnecessary obstacles, but most importantly should be free of charge to parents.  Due to the inadequate existing system of support, many parents find themselves at financial risk or in financial ruin in an attempt to find the needed diagnostic and support services required to establish an appropriate educational path. All children with an autism spectrum disorder should be able to receive an adequate and appropriate education in the public school system with reasonable modifications.  Modifications must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
