The Roadmap for Autism in New York
A Parent's Practical Guide to Navigating the State System
Written by a seasoned New York father who navigated these complex services for his own family, this highly practical manual is built to help you understand the system.
What this localized guide covers:
The NY Special Education Matrix: Clear breakdowns of ICT, 12:1:1, and District 75 placements.
The IEP Meeting Battle Strategy: How to approach meetings using data-driven advocacy.
The OPWDD Golden Gateway: Demystifying the 3-step eligibility process and the Medicaid Waiver "Institutional Deeming" process.
