An advisory committee made up of directors of special education, DESE staff, Missouri autism consultants, and teachers determined that on-site autism consultation is a continuing need for school districts. You'll be asked specific questions about the student to help us determine which MAC would best meet your needs. Our administrative secretary will prepare a packet of forms and mail them to you. When we receive all the forms, we will choose a MAC to visit you and send the MAC copies of all the forms you've sent us, as well as the forms needed to complete the consultation. Your teaching staff will receive the most benefit from the on-site visit if the MAC is prepared in advance to address your specific needs.
MACs provide a written report of the visit.
MACs have skill in building positive relationships with people. Your teaching staff will benefit in special education law and process. The MAC is knowledgeable in special education law and process. MACs collaborate with the student's team to determine workable solutions for the student's programming. The MAC has the knowledge and skills to facilitate a team diagnosis and programming for students with autism.
