Terms of Use
The terms you agree to by using this site.
Last updated: August 2026
Agreement
By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
The most important part
Everything on this site is general education for professionals and families. It is not clinical advice, and it is not a recommendation about any particular person. Reading it does not create a professional, clinical, or consulting relationship between us.
This is education, not clinical guidance
The content here describes general principles about programming, assessment, and preparation for adulthood. Every learner is different. Nothing on this site should be used to make decisions about a specific individual without the involvement of qualified professionals who know that person.
If you are a practitioner, your own professional and ethical obligations govern your practice. If you are a parent, talk to the team who works with your child.
Nothing here is legal advice. Discussion of educational rights, IEPs, or insurance requirements is general information, not guidance about your situation. Consult an attorney or an advocate about your circumstances.
When a relationship does begin
A professional relationship begins only when we have agreed in writing to specific work, with an agreed scope and terms. Browsing this site, joining the mailing list, downloading something, or sending an initial inquiry does not create one.

You may not republish, sell, or present the content as your own, or use it in paid training you deliver, without written permission. Quoting a short passage with attribution and a link is welcome.

Limitation of liability
