Yes, April is Autism Awareness Month. But at Grafton, so are the other 11 months of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of Grafton\u2019s 60 years, knowledge about autism has grown exponentially. It\u2019s very exciting to see the increased understanding and acceptance of what it means to be on the autism spectrum. Today, we often take for granted that students on the spectrum will join their peers in mainstream classes. And many of these children will benefit greatly from that experience. But some \u2014 like Hannah, the star of the success story shared later in this message \u2014 will not.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/case-files\/cases\/endrew-f-v-douglas-county-school-district\/\">Endrew F. v. Douglas County<\/a> reconfirmed that public schools have an obligation, under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.understood.org\/en\/school-learning\/your-childs-rights\/basics-about-childs-rights\/individuals-with-disabilities-education-act-idea-what-you-need-to-know\">Individuals with Disabilities Education Act<\/a>, to provide more than the bare minimum to students with autism and other developmental challenges. What happens, though, when a child\u2019s needs can\u2019t be met in a mainstream or even special education classroom? How do we serve students, like Hannah? Without the resources to accommodate and nurture them, we risk failing a growing population of children with a complex mix of autism and other psychiatric conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full newsletter <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/0aba1ddc6e34\/grafton-in-action-fallwinter2018-601957\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I tell people about Grafton, one of the first things I mention is that we have been on the forefront of working with individuals with autism for the past six decades.
