Officials in the Miami-Dade School district are planning to create an autism task force to help parents and their children with autism/Asperger's with their education. They want to gather together parents, advocates and experts in organizing what would be a good curriculum for these students and which school would suit them best.
The idea to set up a task force comes from the increase of students being diagnosed with autism/Asperger's in the Miami-Dade district in the last two years and the year-long legal battle surrounding one male student with Asperger's, Oliver Lauredo over his individual education plan (IEP). His parents want him to attend a smaller school that will suit his needs and his doctors agreed, but the school district disagreed that the school that Oliver was already attending was suitable and refused the transfer request.
