Welcome to Autism Abbreviations 101

Autism and Abbreviations….They were made for each other. You get a diagnosis, learn the definition of autism, how to spell it and start to feel like you have a handle on things...until you sit in on your first IEP meeting. Suddenly you are finding yourself struggling to crack the secret code of abbreviations. Here is a list of abbreviations commonly (or not so commonly) used in the special-ed world. This list should prove to be helpful for the beginner and experienced. I provided abbreviations from both the professionals and the parents, after all it is only fair that we share information with each other.

-Cheryl Kelley, POACH’D, BS, DAHM, TOAST.
