The Basics
What is Autism?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability characterized by challenges with social communication (reciprocity, interaction, nonverbal, relationships) repetitive behaviors (motor movements, speech, stereotypies, echolalia, insistence on sameness, fixated interests, hypo- or hyper- sensory, as well as by unique strengths and differences. When diagnosed, specify if ASD is with or without Intellectual Disability (ID), with or without language impairment, or other comorbidities. We now know that autism is a spectrum disorder, caused by different combinations of medical or genetic, environmental, and other influences. ASD is diagnosed based on the level of support needed: 1.) Requires support, 2.) Requires substantial support, and 3.) Requires very substantial support. Diagnosis is based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (currently DSM-5).
ASD lasts throughout a person's lifespan, with most obvious signs appearing between 2 and 3 years of age. It can be diagnosed very early in life, with best results when diagnosed before 18 months of age. For others, ASD may be diagnosed as an adult, or even late in life.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates autism’s prevalence as 1 in 59 children in the United States. This includes 1 in 37 boys and 1 in 151 girls. (Current to Summer 2018).
Several comorbid medical and mental health issues frequently accompany autism. They include gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, seizures, intellectual disorder, mood disorder, sleep disturbances, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, phobias, obesity, allergies, immune disorders, Fragile X, and more.
Autism Spectrum Disorder no longer distinguishes between autism, pervasive developmental disorder, Asperger’s, etc.

Medical Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Step 1 - Developmental Screening In children, a Developmental Screening is a short test (generally a simple questionnaire) to determine if children are displaying basic skills when they should, or if they might have delays. During developmental screening the doctor might ask the parent some questions, or talk and play with the child, to determine how the child learns, speaks, behaves, and moves. The screening is used to reveal indications there may be a developmental disturbance or signs of ASD.
Per the CDC, routine screening for developmental delays and disabilities should be done during regular well-child doctor visits at: 9 months 18 months 24-30 months
Additional screening might be needed if a child is at high risk for developmental problems due to preterm birth, low birth weight or other reasons.
In addition, all children should be screened specifically for ASD during regular well-child doctor visits at: 18 months 24 months Additional screening might be needed if a child is at high risk for ASD (e.g., having a sibling or family history of ASD) or if behaviors sometimes associated with ASD are present
In identical twins, the chance of both having Autism is 99%. In fraternal twins, the chance of both having Autism is 44%.
*The Parent’s as Teacher’s program also conducts screenings for delays during home visits for children from birth to the age of 3 years. Contact your local school district to find out if Parent’s as Teachers is available in your area
Types of Screening Tools There are many different developmental screening tools. CDC does not approve or endorse any specific tool for screening purposes. This list is not exhaustive, and other tests may be available. Selected examples of screening tools for general development and ASD:
Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) This is a general developmental screening tool. Parent-completed, family friendly questionnaire; series of 19 age-specific questionnaires screening communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal social skills; results in a pass/fail score for domains.
Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) is an initial screening tool often used by parents, school personnel, and health care providers to identify children with an indication of autism by rating a child’s behavior, characteristics, and abilities against the expected developmental growth of a typical child. The following characteristics are evaluated in the CARS: relationship to people, imitation, emotional response, body use, object use, adaptation to change, visual response, listening response, taste-smell-touch response and use, fear and nervousness, verbal communication, non-verbal communication, activity level, level and consistency of intellectual response, and general impressions.
MO-FEAT The Basics 7
Childhood Autism Rating Scale-2 (CARS-2) is an update of the CARS. The CARS-2 retained the original CARS form for use with younger of lower functioning individuals, now renamed the CARS2-ST for Standard Form. There is also a rating scale for use with higher functioning individuals named the CARS2-HF for Higher Functioning.
Childhood Autism Rating Scale Standard Form (CARS2-ST) is used for children under age 6, or over age 6 but with an estimated IQ of 79 or lower, or a notable communication impairment.
Childhood Autism Rating Scale-High Functioning (CARS2-HF) is is used for children 6 or older, with an estimated IQ of 80 or higher and fluent communication.
Childhood Autism Rating Scale Parent Questionnaire (CARS2-QPC) is a parent questionnaire to report their observations of the child to share with the diagnostician performing the CARS2.
Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS) Standardized tool for screening of communication and often overlooked indicators of symbolic development (gestures, facial expressions, and play behaviors) using parent interviews and direct observations for infants and toddlers whose functional communication age is between 6 and 24 months and for children up to 72 months (6 years) who exhibit atypical development.
Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) This is a highly accurate developmental 6-18 question screening tool. Parent-interview form; screens for development, behavior, social-emotional/mental health, and autism
Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-up (M-CHAT-R/F) Parent-completed questionnaire designed to identify children 16-30 months at risk for autism and should be completed at the well child visits at 9, 18, and 24 months.
Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers and Young Children (STAT) This is an interactive screening tool designed for children between 24 and 36 months when developmental concerns are suspected. It consists of 12 activities assessing play, communication, and imitation skills and takes 20 minutes to administer. Designed for use by community service providers who work with young children.
Gilliam Autism Rating Scale – Third Edition (GARS-3) The GARS-3 is one of the most widely used instruments for the assessment of ASD in the world. This tool assists teachers, parents, and clinicians in identifying and diagnosing autism in individuals and estimating its severity. It yields standard scores, percentile ranks, severity level, and probability of autism. It consists of 56 clearly stated items grouped into six subscales: Restrictive/Repetitive Behaviors, Social Interaction, Social Communication, Emotional Responses, Cognitive Style, and Maladaptive Speech. The target audience for this tool is individuals ages 3 through 22.
8 The Basics | MO-FEAT
Step 2 - Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation The second step of diagnosis is a comprehensive evaluation. This thorough review may include looking at the child’s behavior and development and interviewing the parents. It may also include a hearing and vision screening, genetic testing, neurological testing, and other medical testing.
In some cases, the primary care doctor might choose to refer the child and family to a specialist for further assessment and diagnosis. Specialists who can do this type of evaluation include: Developmental Pediatricians (doctors who have training in child development and special needs) Child Neurologists (doctors who work on the brain, spine, and nerves) Child Psychologists or Psychiatrists (doctors who know about the human mind)
Many of these specialists can be found in the Provider Listings found later in this publication.
Diagnostic Tools Utilized to Determine an ASD Diagnosis There are many tools to assess ASD in young children, but no single tool should be used as the basis for diagnosis. Diagnostic tools usually rely on two main sources of information—parents or caregiver’s descriptions of their child’s development and a professional’s observation of the child’s behavior.
In some cases, the primary care provider might choose to refer the child and family to a specialist for further assessment and diagnosis. Such specialists include neurodevelopmental pediatricians, developmental-behavioral pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, geneticists, and early intervention programs that provide assessment services.
Selected examples of diagnostic tools:
Autism Diagnosis Interview – Revised (ADI-R) A clinical diagnostic instrument for assessing autism in children and adults. The instrument focuses on behavior in three main areas: reciprocal social interaction; communication and language; and restricted and repetitive, stereotyped interests and behaviors. The ADI-R is appropriate for children and adults with mental ages about 18 months and above.
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule –Second Edition (ADOS-2) With updated protocols, revised algorithms, a new Comparison Score, and a Toddler Module, the ADOS-2 provides a highly accurate picture of current symptoms, unaffected by language. It can be used to evaluate almost anyone suspected of having ASD from 1 year old with no speech to adults who are verbally fluent. Like the initial ADOS, the ADOS-2 is a semi-structured, standardized assessment of social interaction, communication, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviors. The ADOS-2 includes five modules, each requiring 40-60 minutes to administer. The individual being evaluated is given only one module, selected on the basis of that individual’s expressive language level and chronological age: o Toddler module – age 12-30 months with no consistent use of phrase speech o Module 1 – 31 months and older with no consistent use of phrase speech o Module 2 – any age with use of phrase speech but not verbally fluent o Module 3 - verbally fluent children and young adolescents o Module 4 - verbally fluent older adolescents and adults
Each module engages the individual being evaluated in a series of activities involving interactive stimulus materials in: construction task, make-believe play, joint interaction play, demonstration task, description of a picture, telling a story from a book, cartoons, conversation and reporting, emotions, social difficulties and annoyance, break, friends, relationships and marriage, loneliness, and creating a story. By observing and coding, one can obtain information that leads to diagnosis, intervention treatment planning, and educational placement.

Special Education
The purpose of the special education law, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is to ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living, and to ensure that the rights of children with disabilities and parents of such children are protected. It also calls for Appropriate Evaluation, Parent and Teacher Participation, Procedural Safeguards, confidentiality of information (under FERPA), Transition Services, and Discipline. Parents are to receive a copy of the Procedural Safeguards no less than annually.
IDEA governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education, transition, and related services to more than 6.5 million eligible infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities.
Congress reauthorized the IDEA in 2004 and most recently amended the IDEA through Public Law 114-95, The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), in December 2015.
In the law, Congress states: Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society. Improving education results for children with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities.
IDEA has four distinct sections; sections A, B, C and D.
Part A of IDEA lays out the basic foundation for the rest of the Act. This section defines the terms used within the Act as well as providing for the creation of the Office of Special Education Programs, which is responsible for administering and carrying out the terms of IDEA (IDEA, 1997).
Part B of IDEA is the section which lays out the educational guidelines for school children 3-21 years of age. By law, states are required to educate students with disabilities. IDEA provides financial support for state and local school districts. However to receive funding, school districts must comply with six main principles set out by IDEA:
1. Every child is entitled to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). 2. When a school professional believes that a student between the ages of 3 and 21 may have a disability that has substantial impact on the student's learning or behavior, the student is entitled to an evaluation in all areas related to the suspected disability. 3. Creation of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The purpose of the IEP is to lay out a series of specific actions and steps through which educational providers, parents and the student themselves may reach the child's stated goals. 4. The education and services for children with disabilities must be provided in the least restrictive environment, and if possible, those children be placed in a "typical" education setting with non-disabled students. 5. Input of the child and their parents must be taken into account in the education process. 6. When a parent feels that an IEP is inappropriate for their child, or that their child is not receiving needed services, they have the right under IDEA to challenge their child's treatment (due process).
Part C of IDEA (Early Intervention) recognizes the need for identifying and reaching very young children with disabilities. This portion of IDEA provides guidelines concerning the funding and services to be provides to children from birth through 2 years of age. Families are entitled to several services through part C of IDEA (IDEA, 1997).
Every family is entitled to appropriate, timely, and multidisciplinary identification and intervention services for their very young child. These services must be made available to all families with infants and toddlers.
10 The Basics | MO-FEAT
Families are required to receive an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). This plan lays out the priorities, resources and concerns of the family. In addition it describes the goals of the child, the services to be provided to the child, and steps for eventual transitioning of the child into formal education. Families have a right to participate in the creation of the IFSP, and must give consent prior to the initiation of intervention services (Prior Written Notice). Lastly, parents are entitled to timely resolution of all conflicts or complaints regarding the evaluation or services provided to their child.
The final section of IDEA, Part D, describes national activities to be undertaken to improve the education of children with disabilities. These activities include grants to improve the education and transitional services provided to students with disabilities. In addition this section provides resources to support programs, projects and activities which contribute positive results for children with disabilities (IDEA, 1997).
Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) means that “special education and related services that are Provided at public expense under public supervision and direction and without charge Meet the standards of the State Education Agency Includes an appropriate preschool, elementary, or secondary education in the State pre FIX THIS Provided in conformity with the IEP Designed to meet the student’s unique needs Prepares the student for further education, employment, and independent living
Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) requires that “to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities, including children in public and private institutions or care facilities, are educated with children who are nondisabled, and special classes, separate schooling or other removals of children with disabilities from regular educational environment occurs only if the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
Procedural Safeguards provides for the opportunity for parents to review their child’s full educational records, full parent participation in identification and IEP team meetings; parent involvement in placement decisions, Prior Written Notice, the rights of parents to request independent educational evaluations at public expense, Notice of Procedural Safeguards, Resolution Process, and objective mediation funded by the state education agency and impartial Due Process Hearings. Parents have the following rights under IDEA: Access to educational records Parent Participation (in any and all meetings regarding placement and educational decisions) Prior Written Notice (Any changes in the IEP require that the parent must be notified) Procedural Safeguards Notice (Written copy to be provided to parents no less than annually) Understandable language (in the person’s native language, OR translators must be provided as needed) Informed Consent (Before any evaluations or services are provided the parents must be informed and agree in writing) Stay Put Rights If parents disagree with the school’s decision, the student can stay put while the parents and school resolve their disputes Due Process If the school and parent is in dispute, Due Process is used to resolve issues Civil Action Used to resolve issues when Due Process does not meet the desired outcome Mediation is a process to resolve differences when Due Process is file, hopefully to avoid Due Process
MO-FEAT The Basics 11
Transition is defined in IDEA as a coordinated set of activities for a child with a disability that: is designed to be a results-oriented process, that is focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child’s movement from school to post-school activities including post-secondary education, vocational education integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation, AND is based on the individual’s needs, taking into account the child’s strengths, preferences and interests. Transition must be in place on the IEP that is written when the child will turn age 16. Parents are encouraged to begin Transition plans earlier.
Laws for Students and Post-Secondary Individuals with Disabilities
Education for All Handicapped Children Act Passed in 1975, this was the first special education law directed at students with disabilities. This law stated that public schools must provide children with special needs with the same opportunities for education as other children.
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) -In 2001, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was updated to No Child Left Behind, and called for schools to be accountable for academic performance of all students with or without disabilities. It requires routine assessments of students’ academic skills.
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) In 2015, President Obama updated ESEA, replacing NCLB with ESSA. This focuses on the clear goal of fully preparing all students for success in college and careers.
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504 – forbids discrimination in schools based on disability; including in colleges and universities. Although students are no longer entitled to FAPE in postsecondary education, it does oblige schools to offer reasonable academic accommodations and accessible housing to students with disabilities.
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disabilities in the areas of employment, public services, public accommodations, and telecommunications and applies to all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA protects the privacy of student education records. Under this law, parent have the right to review the student’s education records (report cards, transcripts, disciplinary records, contact and family information, and class schedules) and request changes. Schools must ask for written consent before disclosing the student’s personally identifiable information to individuals other than the parents.
Workforce and Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is designed to strengthen and improve the nation’s public workforce development system and help Americans with significant barriers to employment, including individuals with disabilities, into high quality jobs and careers and help employers hire and retain skilled workers.

Effective Treatment
Research has shown that early intensive treatment service can greatly improve outcomes for individuals with ASD. Of the many different types of treatments, some treatments have more scientific basis than others. Examples of commonly used therapies include:
Aquatherapy Benefits of Aquatherapy include reduced pain (arthritic, chronic, fibromyalgia), decreased swelling, increased morale and confidence, increased cardiovascular function, increased circulation and endurance, flexibility, range of motion, balance, coordination, motor skills, muscle relaxation, body awareness, proprioception, trunk stability, joint position awareness and mood stabilization.
Animal Therapy Animals can provide soothing sensory stimulation, a point of focus and opportunities to learn about behavior and communication. Animal Therapy is often used for emotional stability.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) An evidence based treatment approach for people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder is called applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABA has become widely accepted among health care professionals and used in many schools and treatment clinics. ABA encourages positive behaviors and discourages negative behaviors in order to improve a variety of skills. The child’s progress is tracked and measured.
Art and Music Useful in sensory integration, providing tactile, visual and auditory stimulation. Music therapy is good for speech development and language comprehension. Songs can be used to teach language and increase the ability to put words together, and to teach academic and functional concepts and skills. Art therapy provides a nonverbal, symbolic means of self-expression, and can help develop fine motor skills.
Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-Based Approach (DIR; also called “Floortime”) Floortime focuses on emotional and relational development (feelings, relationships with caregivers). It also focuses on how the child deals with sights, sounds, and smells.
The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based intervention specifically developed for very young children with autism. ESDM is a play-based intervention that fuses behavioral and developmental principles into an integrated approach. ESDM can be implemented in different natural settings such as the home or the daycare/preschool by trained therapists as well as parents within play and daily routines. ESDM aims to reduce the symptoms of autism and target all developmental areas.
Equine Therapy, Hippotherapy, or Horse Assisted Therapy The use of horseback riding and care as a therapeutic, rehabilitative, physical, occupational, speech and language, recreational, and neuromuscular treatment, to improve coordination, balance, posture, strength, sensory, motor skills and coordination, confidence building, for individuals with disabilities. Therapeutic riding programs provide both physical and emotional benefits, improving coordination and motor development while creating a sense of well-being and increasing self- confidence.
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) An FBA is a process that identifies specific target behavior, the purpose of the behavior, and what factors maintain the behavior that is interfering with the individual’s success. Target behavior may be learning, attending to task, aggression, etc. This process leads to a collection of data that gives us information to develop a Positive Behavior
MO-FEAT The Basics 13
Intervention Plan to teach new behavior, accommodates for the individual’s needs, or revise the interactions between the caregiver and the individual to reduce the likelihood of the undesired behavior being maintained.
Physical Therapy Focuses on any problems with movement that cause functional limitations. Children with autism frequently have challenges with motor skills such as sitting, walking, running or jumping. PT can address poor muscle tone, balance and coordination.
Relationship Development Intervention Based on the belief that the development of dynamic intelligence is the key to improving the quality of life for people with autism. The program’s core philosophy is that people with autism can participate in authentic emotional relationships if they are exposed to them in a gradual, systematic, self-directed manner. The goal is to systematically build up the motivation and tools for successfully interacting in social relationships. Focuses on referencing, emotion sharing, co-regulation, and experience sharing.
Occupational Therapy Occupational therapy teaches skills that help the person live as independently as possible. Skills might include dressing, eating, bathing, and relating to people.
Occupational Therapy Puzzles Puzzles offer great exercise for strengthening and refining skills.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports refers to strategies used to achieve improved behavior changes. This may include a change in the environment, a change in the interactions of the caregiver and the individual, or teach a preferred behavior to replace the undesired, targeted behavior. The goal of PBIS is to strengthen the opportunity for desired behaviors to recur and diminish the reinforcement given to undesired behaviors. PBIS is the only approach to addressing behavior that is specifically mentioned in the law.
Reggio Emilia Therapy is an educational philosophy focused on preschool and primary education. It is a pedagogy described as student-centered and constructivist that utilizes self-directed, experiential learning in relationship- driven environments. The program is based on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community through exploration and discovery through a self-guided curriculum. At its core is an assumption that children form their own personality during early years of development and are endowed with "a hundred languages", through which they can express their ideas. The aim of the Reggio approach is to teach how to use these symbolic languages (e.g., painting, sculpting, drama) in everyday life. It was developed after World War II by psychologist Loris Malaguzzi and parents in the villages around Reggio Emilia, Italy, and derives its name from the city.
Sensory Integration Therapy Sensory integration therapy helps the person deal with sensory information of the 8 sensory systems: Sight, Smell, Sounds, Touch and texture, Taste, Vestibular (balance), Proprioceptive (personal space), and Interoceptive (inner body workings).
Speech and Language Therapy Speech therapy helps to improve the person’s communication skills. Some people are able to learn verbal communication skills. For others, using gestures, sign, picture boards, or technology is preferred.

The Department of Mental Health (DMH) Division of Developmental Disabilities
Why do I Need the Division of Developmental Disabilities? The Department of Mental Health – Division of Developmental Disabilities offers services and supports for individuals with autism and other developmental disorders in Missouri. It is important to contact your local Regional Office of the Division of Developmental Disabilities to see if your family member qualifies for these services, or is Medicaid Eligible and can be referred to another agency for funding. Also, you may need to be enrolled with the Regional Office in order to receive services from other agencies that receive Department of Mental Health funding.
How do you know if you are eligible for DMH services? Eligibility is determined by what is known as a functional assessment as opposed to a specific diagnosis. A developmental disability is a disability which is attributable to cognitive delay, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, head injury, autism spectrum disorder, or a learning disability related to a brain dysfunction, or any other mental or physical or intellectual impairment which occurs before age 22. It must be determined that this disability is likely to continue indefinitely and that it results in a substantial functional limitation in two or more of the following six areas of major life activities: self-care; receptive and expressive language development and use; learning; self-direction; capacity for independent living or economic self- sufficiency; and mobility. - Source dmh.mo.gov/dd/facilities/eligibility.html
What does the Regional Office do? Staff members at the local Regional Offices perform these duties: Determine whether a person is eligible for services (Intake). Service Coordination may be provided by a Regional Office or a Targeted Case Management (TCM) entity. Individuals with Medicaid or who are currently receiving a Division of Developmental Disabilities funded service will continue to receive Service Coordination. Information Coordination for individuals without Medicaid. The Information Specialist will respond to questions regarding services the Division may be able to provide, and explain what is required to access those services. The information Specialist is available at 800.241.2741 or information .specialistWdmh.mo.gov. Support Coordinators from a Regional Office or a TCM entity may assist in trying to access funding for services to address unmet needs that are documented in the Individual Support Plan. Perform reassessments at ages 5, 18, and 22 to reevaluate individual’s eligibility for services. Support Coordinators or representatives from a TCM entity can be invited to Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings with the school to assist you if necessary.

The individual or family will work with the Support Coordinator to develop an Individual Support Plan. This process is in transition, and depending on your situation, you may be referred to a Senate Bill 40 Board for Support Coordination.
Person-Centered Planning Person-centered planning is a process to empower people with disabilities. PCP puts the individual in charge of defining the direction for their lives. The individual is valued through inclusion in their community and in society. The individual, and the people that the individual has chosen to support him, determine the goals, services, and supports that an individual needs for independent living, community access, leisure and recreation, and employment. Plans are based on a PON (Priority of Need) and a MOCABI.
Who should you contact if you believe you or a member in my family is eligible for services? There are 6 regional offices located throughout the state in the following areas: Central (Columbia), Kansas City, St. Louis (North & South), Sikeston, and Springfield with satellite offices in Albany, Hannibal, Joplin, Kirksville, Poplar Bluff, and Rolla.

Missouri’s Autism Projects The Department of Mental Health’s Division of Developmental Disabilities funds five regional autism projects that collectively provide services to approximately 3,500 families statewide. The first project was established in 1991 after families in rural Missouri approached legislators to ask for autism-specific family support. As a result of these efforts, authorities were established and funding was secured for family-centered services for individuals with autism spectrum disorders throughout the state. Parent Advisory Committees (PACs) were formed to represent and oversee each autism project and to make recommendations for service needs. Each regional autism project Parent Advisory Committee elects members to sit on the Missouri Parent Advisory Committee on Autism, serving as a statewide liaison for the regional committees and the division.
The Missouri Parent Advisory Committee on Autism has two parent representatives from each of the regional Autism Projects below and one self-advocate:

Senate Bill 40 Boards (SB40)
You may find assistance through your county’s Senate Bill (SB) 40 Board. The SB40 Board is a source of funding and services at the local level for people with developmental disabilities. These Boards are funded through special tax levies passed to benefit people with developmental disabilities. Some counties use these tax levies to purchase services for their residents through sheltered workshops, residential facilities, or related services, for the support, care or employment of persons who have a developmental disability. Other county boards provide their own services and use the funding to establish and pay for these services. Many county board agencies also contract with their local Regional Office to provide various services including residential supports, day habilitation, personal assistant hours, and job coaching.
Over 80 counties in Missouri and St. Louis City currently have a tax in place to support a SB40 Board in their county. Many of those counties belong to the state organization of SB40 boards, the Missouri Association of County Developmental Disabilities Services (MACDDS). Website: www.macdds.org

Parents as Teachers
The Early Childhood Development Act (ECDA) authorizes state funding to school districts that provide the following education programs and services to families expecting a child or have a child under the age of kindergarten entry: Periodic development screening for all children birth to kindergarten entry and Parent education for all families prenatal to kindergarten entry.
The general goals of these programs and services are: To provide appropriate and useful information and guidance to parents as their child’s primary and most important teachers; To inform parents of possible delays in their child’s development, as well as normal progression; and To prepare children for success in school and in life.
*The Parent’s as Teacher’s program also conducts screenings for delays during home visits. Please contact your local school district to find out if Parent’s as Teachers is available in your area
Missouri First Steps
What is First Steps? The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), as the lead agency responsible for carrying out Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), has developed a statewide system of early intervention called First Steps. The First Steps program serves children, birth to age three, who have delayed development or diagnosed conditions that are associated with developmental disabilities.
First Steps is a family-driven process of evaluation that looks at many areas of development to determine if a child qualifies for services, identifies the needs of each qualified child and their family and develops an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) that supports the child’s development. Regional agencies contract with DESE to provide First Steps System Point of Entry (SPOE) services. The First Steps SPOEs and the service providers they work with must meet the requirements of Part C of the IDEA which is specific to the education of children birth to age three.
Who Is Eligible for Services? Eligibility is determined through an initial evaluation and assessment. The evaluation is typically conducted in the family’s home or another natural environment.
Children between the ages of birth and 36 months who either: 1. Have a diagnosed physical or mental condition associated with developmental disabilities (such as Down syndrome, spina bifida or cerebral palsy) 2. Have a condition with a high probability of resulting in a developmental delay or disability (such as a very low birth weight child who has experienced intracranial bleeding or ventilator dependency) 3. Are functioning at half the developmental level expected for a child of equal age in one or more of the following areas: communication, adaptive, physical (including vision and hearing), cognitive or social/emotional.
How is a referral to First Steps made?
MO-FEAT Find Therapy Services - Under age 3 23
Parents may be referred to First Steps by their child’s doctors, hospital staff, social-service agency caseworkers, the Parents as Teachers program or other public health entities. Parents may also contact First Steps directly if they are concerned about their child’s development.
When a referral is received by the System Point of Entry (SPOE), a service coordinator is assigned. The service coordinator contacts the family within two business days and schedules an appointment to discuss concerns and family priorities.
Once the regional SPOE receives a referral, it appoints an intake coordinator as soon as possible. Within 45 calendar days after receiving a referral, a SPOE must: Provide the parent with Prior Written Notice (see Fact Sheet found at www.ptimpact.org ) of intent to conduct an evaluation, Obtain informed written parental consent to proceed, Collect and review existing documentation to complete the evaluation for eligibility, and For each eligible child, schedule and facilitate an initial IFSP meeting.
In the event of exceptional circumstances that make it impossible to complete the evaluation and assessment within 45 calendar days (e.g., if the child is ill or there is some other family initiated situation that causes delay, etc.) the SPOE will document those circumstances. An Interim IFSP may be developed and put into action to the extent appropriate.
The service coordinator is responsible for: Meeting with the family to explain the First Steps program. Coordinating with various professionals to conduct any initial evaluations or assessments. Gathering all pertinent information in order to determine eligibility. Scheduling the initial meeting (if the child is eligible) to develop a plan within 45 days of the referral.
How Are Services Provided? First Steps is a family focused program designed not only to serve the needs of the child but also the family as a whole. Caregiver participation is essential for effective services and is the primary focus of those who serve the family. First Step professionals meet the child and the family in their natural environment where the child typically lives, learns and plays. The number and types of professionals involved with each family depend on the needs and outcomes identified in the IFSP. Some examples of professionals include occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, special instructors and audiologists.

Find Therapy Services – School Age
Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)
The Office of Special Education administers state and federal funding to support services for individuals with disabilities. The most common services provided to individuals with autism spectrum disorder may include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Music Therapy, and Physical Therapy. An individual with a developmental delay must undergo an educational evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services.
Educational Evaluation A medical diagnosis does not automatically determine eligibility for services through your local school district. Services from your local school district are not dependent on a medical diagnosis and can begin once an educational evaluation is completed, eligibility is determined and a need for services has been indicated. If a medical diagnosis has been received or you suspect a need for special education services, parents may request an evaluation at any time.
Determination for the Need for an Evaluation School district personnel (i.e., teacher, counselor, principal) may request that a child be evaluated to determine if the child is a child with a disability as well as his/ her educational needs. Parents can also request that their child be evaluated. While this request can be verbal or written, it is recommended that parents make their request in writing. Informed written consent is required from parents before their child can be tested as part of an evaluation. The school district must respond to the parent within 30 calendar days of the request with a Notice of Action either denying or accepting the request for an evaluation. When the Notice of Action is accepted, the school district must complete the evaluation and meet with parents within 60 calendar days of the parent’s written consent.
Initial Evaluation The purpose of the evaluation is to determine if your child has a disability, to identify his or her educational needs, and to determine the need for special education services. Your child must be evaluated in all areas related to the suspected disability. This evaluation will include reviewing existing information and conducting additional tests, as needed. The evaluation must be thorough enough to identify all of your child’s special education and related service needs, even those that are not commonly linked to the suspected disability category. It must include information you provide and information related to enabling your child’s involvement and progress in the general education curriculum. If you provide a written report from outside sources, the district must consider it as part of the evaluation process. No single procedure can be used as the only means of determining if your child has a disability or what services are needed.
Tests must be given in your child’s native language or primary mode of communication. Tests or evaluation procedures must not be racially or culturally biased. The tests utilized to determine the need for special education services are dependent on the area of concern. Usually, a cognitive test is given along with language tests, observations, rating scales, interviews etc. ADOS test are also given in some cases.
If your child is exhibiting behaviors that interfere with his or her learning or the learning of others, the IEP team will consider the use of positive behavioral intervention and supports and other strategies to address that behavior. You may request a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) as part of the evaluation or reevaluation. Such an assessment helps families and school officials better understand why your child behaves the way he or she does. When a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) is developed, the plan must be included in the IEP. Source: http://dese.mo.gov/sites/default/files/ParentGuide.pdf Eligible If your child is found to be a “child with a disability,” as defined by IDEA and the Missouri State Plan, he or she is eligible for special education and related services. The Individualized Education Program (IEP) team must meet to
MO-FEAT Find Therapy Services – School Age 25 develop an IEP for the child within 30 calendar days after a child is determined eligible. For children coming from First Steps, the IEP must be in place by the child’s third birthday if the referral was received more than 120 days before the 3rd birthday and eligibility was determined.
Individualized Education Program (IEP) Defined
When a child transitions from the First Steps program to Early Childhood Special Education, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed. An IEP is a written statement for each child with a disability that is developed, reviewed, and revised in a meeting in accordance with IDEA, and that must include-- A statement of the child's present levels of academic achievement and functional performance A statement of measurable annual goals, including academic and functional goals For children with disabilities who take alternate assessments aligned to alternate achievement standards, a description of benchmarks or short-term objectives A statement of the special education and related services and supplementary aids and services, based on peer- reviewed research to the extent practicable, to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child, and a statement of the program modifications or supports for school personnel that will be provided An explanation of the extent, if any, to which the child will not participate with nondisabled children in the regular class A statement of any individual appropriate accommodations that are necessary to measure the academic achievement and functional performance of the child on State and districtwide assessments consistent with section 612(a)(16) of the Act; and If the IEP Team determines that the child must take an alternate assessment instead of a particular regular State or districtwide assessment of student achievement The projected date for the beginning of the services and the anticipated frequency, location, and duration of those services and modifications.

Early Childhood Special Education
It is the policy of the State of Missouri that all children with disabilities, residing in the state are identified, located, and evaluated. School districts and other public agencies responsible for providing special education must offer a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to children who have been identified as eligible under the eligibility criteria outlined in the Missouri State Plan for Special Education as early as a child's third birthdate. Special Education and related services for pre-school age is referred to as early childhood special education (ECSE).
Parents of children who are three-to-five years old or approaching age three who suspect their child may have a developmental delay or disabling condition that may affect them educationally, may contact their local school district to make a referral for evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services.
ECSE services are supported by Federal funding under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as well as state general revenue funds. There is no cost to parents of ECSE children for services identified in a child's Individualized Education Program (IEP).

IEP Frequently Asked Questions
If a parent requests an evaluation, how long does the school have to comply with or reject the request?
26 Find Therapy Services – School Age | MO-FEAT
If there is a reason to suspect a disability, a Review of Existing Data is conducted within 30 calendar days of parental referral. This starts the evaluation process. If the school refuses to conduct the evaluation, a Notice of Action – Refused must be provided within 30 calendar days of parent referral. If an evaluation determines eligibility, the school must conduct an Eligibility Determination Meeting within 60 calendar days of receipt of consent for the initial evaluation. For eligible students, an IEP must be developed within 30 calendar days of the eligibility determination. Source: Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
My school denied an evaluation or services due to my child’s passing grades, is that legal? No. IDEA says just the opposite, a child does not have to fail to be eligible for special education services. According to IDEA regulation 300.101(c), the school must provide special education to a child with a disability “even though the child has not failed or been retained in a course or grade, and is advancing from grade to grade.” A parent or school staff member may refer a child for an evaluation. To determine if a child is eligible for special education and related services, the school is required to do a comprehensive psycho educational evaluation. Source: http://www.wrightslaw.com
If a parent requests an IEP meeting, does the meeting have to be held within 10 days? IDEA, the federal law, and implementing regulations do not include a timeline for an IEP meeting when parents request a meeting to review or revise their child’s IEP. There are timelines relating to evaluations for special education and eligibility meetings. Source: http://www.wrightslaw.com
What happens if I need to cancel/postpone an IEP meeting? The school district must hold an IEP meeting at a mutually agreeable time and place for both parties, unless the parents choose not to attend. The school district must inform parents/guardians of a meeting ten (10) calendar days before the meeting unless the parent/guardian waives that timeframe. If you cannot attend a scheduled meeting, it is recommended that you put your request to reschedule in writing and include your intention to attend the meeting at mutually agreeable time. For many school districts, after two documented attempts to hold an IEP meeting, the meeting can be held without the parents being present.
Can the school hold an IEP meeting without parents present? A meeting may be conducted without a parent in attendance if the public agency is unable to convince the parents that they should attend after two documented attempts. In this case, the public agency must keep a record of its attempts to arrange a mutually agreed on time and place, such as— (1) Detailed records of telephone calls made or attempted and the results of those calls; (2) Copies of correspondence sent to the parents and any responses received; and (3) Detailed records of visits made to the parent’s home or place of employment and the results of those visits. Source: IDEA Section §300.322
Can I record an IEP Team meeting? The use of recorders at IEP meetings is not addressed by either IDEA or regulations. Recording of IEP meetings can be prohibited by the written policy of each school district, but must not interfere with parent participation as prescribed by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Please contact your individual school district for more information.

How can I best prepare for an IEP meeting? Prior to the initial IEP meeting, be sure to do your own research about the programs, placement options, related services and supplementary aids that may be appropriate to meet your child’s needs. Consult some of these helpful sources of information including: Local or state parent organizations Parents with children who have similar needs Special education lawyers Internet resources Special education professionals in your area Prepare a blueprint and/or draft of your child’s IEP including goals, programs, placement options, related services and supplementary aids. You can obtain an IEP form from your school or school district. Source: http://www.autismspeaks.org/sites/default/files/iep_guide.pdf
I don't agree with the school's proposed IEP. What should I do? You have the right to disagree with the school about your child's needs, appropriate services, educational placements, and other issues. Parent Consent: Before the school can place your child in a special education program for the first time, you must give your informed consent. If you disagree with the school's proposed program, you should not consent to the IEP. To eliminate misunderstandings, always describe your concerns and objections in writing. You can negotiate, and try to resolve your dispute informally through the IEP process. Request another IEP meeting to discuss other solutions.
Write a "Letter to the Stranger" that describes your child's history and your concerns. Discuss your concerns with the school members of the team. Try to reach an agreement. The agreement may be temporary.
For example, you and the school may agree to try a program or placement for a specified period of time, and meet a few weeks later to discuss how your child is doing.

What is a PLAAFP? Under IDEA 2004, the IEP must include "a statement of the child's present levels of academic achievement and functional performance ...". The Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance are objective data that describe what your child knows and is able to do. They describe your child's strengths, challenges, and needs. The present levels include baseline data. Sometimes Present Levels are referred to as the PLAAFP. The term "performance" describes what your child can do. The Present Levels describe your child's unique needs that result from his disability. The Present Levels are the foundation for supports, services, accommodations, etc. to be provided in the IEP.

Charting the LifeCourse was originally developed to help students in transition plan for their future. However, the tool is universal to many stages of transition(s) throughout the lifespan. It is important to develop goals and action plans to move from one stage in life to another. This tool values the self-determining principles of the individual with disabilities and his/her support team. It helps the individual develop a vision for a good life, think about what the person needs to know and do, identifies how to find or develop supports, and discover what it takes to live the life the individual desires. Charting the LIfeCourse explores Daily Life, Employment, Community Living, Safety and Security, Healthy Living, Social and Spirituality, Citizenship and Advocacy, Services and Supports, and the Family Unit. The Charting the LifeCourse tool was developed UMKC Institute for Human Development’s Missouri Family to Family and Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. To obtain the full Charting the LIfeCourse: Experiences & Questions booklet and other LifeCourse tools and materials, go to the link http://mofamilytofamily.org/materials/ Trainings are offered frequently in the community on Charting the LIfeCourse.

Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possibly by all people regardless of their age, size, ability or disability. An environment (or any building product, or service in that environment) should be designed to meet the needs of all people who wish to use it. This is not a special requirement, for the benefit of only a minority of the population. It is a fundamental condition of good design. If an environment is accessible, usable, convenient and a pleasure to use, everyone benefits. By considering the diverse needs and abilities of all throughout the design process, universal design creates products, services and environments that meet peoples’ needs. The 7 principles of Universal Design are: Equitable Use, Flexibility in Use, Simple and Intuitive Use, Perceptible Information, Tolerance for Error, Low Physical Effort, Size and Space for Approach and Use. For more information: universaldesign.ie
Self-Directed Services (SDS) is an option of service delivery for individuals with disabilities who wish to exercise more choice, control and authority over their supports. SDS is founded on the principles of self-determination. Under SDS, the individual controls the funding budget and the support personnel. https://dmh.mo.gov/dd/progs/selfdirect.html
Self Determination allows an individual with a disability to have control of what happens in their life. The principles of self-determination are freedom, authority, support, responsibility, and confirmation. Freedom: Individuals will live a meaningful life in the community and make choices about their lives. Authority: Individuals will have meaningful control over a set amount of dollars that can be used to build the supports they need by purchasing only what is needed and paying for what is received. Support: Individuals will have support to organize resources in ways that are life enhancing and assist them in reaching their dreams and goals. Individuals have a circle of support made up of family, friends, and both paid and unpaid supports. Responsibility: Individuals assume responsibility for giving back to their community, for seeking employment and for developing unique gifts and talents. Confirmation: Individuals are recognized for who they are and what they can contribute, having a leadership role in developing policies that affect their lives and helping others reach success.
Individual Support Plan (ISP) follows a template and provides information on how to serve an individual with a disability through Self Directed Supports. It provides details of the supports, activities, and resources that an individual, Personal Care Assistant (PCA), Service Coordinator (Case Manager) and other people of the individual’s choice agree are important to or for achieving and maintaining personal outcomes. The Casemanager ensures that the ISP follows the state template, but the content of the ISP should be written by the individual and/or his personal support team. A guide for developing the ISP can be found at dmh.mo.gov/docs/dd/ispguide.pdf. Also see https://dmh.mo.gov/dd/progs/docs/mychoiceguideforcreating.pdf and ask your casemanager for a copy of the template and guide to using it.
Advocacy Specialists are responsible for providing leadership and mentoring of self-advocacy to individuals in their assigned geographic area. They do this by supporting existing self-advocacy groups; by providing self-advocacy and self-determination training to individuals, staff and families; by creating self-advocacy and self-determination materials that are written for and by people with disabilities, and by mentoring peers to participating on division and other statewide committees to influence change that will result in the enhanced empowerment of people with disabilities. To contact an Advocacy Specialist in your area go to dmh.mo.gov/dd/docs/asbrochure.pdf
Community Specialist A Community Specialist is used when specialized supports are needed to assist the individual in achieving outcomes as identified in the ISP. The services of the Community Specialist assist the individual and the individual’s caregivers to design and implement specialized programs to enhance self-direction, independent living skills, community integration, social, leisure and recreational skills.
WeCare Caregivers This is a Facebook network where caregivers and parents can connect. Share ideas and resources, personal care assistants and individuals with service needs. The group hosts events to get together and access the community and develop friendships. Post job opportunities, searches for caregivers, introduce your individual in need of services,
MO-FEAT Find Services and Supports for Adults 31 etc. Closed group. Must be invited by a member to join. For individuals with disabilities, parents and guardians, and caregivers only.
Employment First Specialist The guiding principle of Employment First is that all individuals who want to work can work and contribute to their community when given opportunity, training, and supports that build upon their unique talents, skills and abilities. Everyone of working age, and those supporting them, should consider employment as the first option prior to any other service options. As fully participating members of their community, individuals with developmental disabilities will be afforded the opportunity to earn a living wage and engage in work that makes sense to them. Career exploration and planning will be supported when assisting individuals in making informed choices in designing their unique pathway to increased independence, integration, inclusion, productivity, self-determination. Employment First Specialists are listed below by region.
