We are excited to announce a guidance document lead-authored by two MI-LEND faculty, Dr. Angela Capuano (University of Michigan-Dearborn) and Dr. Krista Clancy (Wayne State University), with collaborating author Dr. David Hill (University of Michigan-Dearborn)!
The document, Transitioning Back to School During a Pandemic, is written for parents of children and adolescents with autism. The recommendations established in this document are designed to support families in Michigan while they attempt to navigate a return to educational services following the 2020 shut down based on Executive Order 2020-35.
The document includes:
1. A list of resources published by various state and national agencies to assist families in safe risk mitigation strategies to reduce the spread of COVID-19
2. Parent Planning Guidelines for Transitioning Back to School to help parents prepare their child to return to school in the fall,
3. Considerations for Conversations with Treatment and Education Providers to assist parents with how the professionals and educators they are working with can help them to problem solve
