Applied Behavioral Services is a school in the Midwest who, for 20 years, has been working with students that have autism or related disorders. They currently serve over 250 special needs students and 35 school districts per day. In this episode, we will be inspired to blaze trails that do not already exist for our children with special needs. We also talk about the importance of narrowing the focus on goals long before students with disabilities approach "the cliff" of decreased services in adulthood.   Show notes with links to items mentioned in the show can be found here.
