I am having difficulty finding out about any Autism programs in the Massapequa School District, Special Education Dept. My son is 6 yrs. old. I called the Spec. Ed. dept. directly & spoke to several people there who told me "we can NOT give you any names of the Autism programs". Finally, I spoke to the District Chairperson of Spec. Ed; who indicated that "they will decide upon which program my son will go to".
I questions why the Massapequa S.D. is keeping their Autsim programs "Secret" especially, since I'm a 1) resident of Massapequa and 2) pay taxes for my son's education. She sounded like a totalitarian ruler...like I had no say whatsoever in the process...this is totally Unacceptable.

My son has Autisim which is a disability and he has rights too.
I specifically requested the names of any programs the SPecial Ed dept. has in order to do some research. She would not give me any names of the programs offered. I find this very strange and want to dig Deeper into why this information is being concealed.

I'm going to keep researching with the Board of Education.
Pls. help me find out more. Thanks for listening.
