Has an FBA been conducted? If he has a behavior disorder, he will need behavior goals OR a BIP in place. If no FBA has been done, then I would request one. That will guide you on what you need write goals for and address in the school environment.

Your very first priority is to put all of the stuff you've read/heard about this kid and focus on building a very strong relationship with him. In my experience if you hook this kids and get them excited that you are their person, a lot of the other stuff gets much easier!
Hello! I have recently applied for a Master's in Special Education-Autism program but am wondering if I should switch to Special Education (general). For instance, I am worried that the Special Education-autism degree would not be as well-rounded as the general degree (since I could later get a certificate in autism)? I would love for some advice o...See More

It depends to some extent on what your goals are and what certifications are offered in your state. You're right that a general SPED will likely give a bit more of a rounded education but an Autism specialization will also often include many classes applicable to other disabilities and teaching methods/strategies, SPED law, etc. that is useful beyo...See More

As lot of this will depend upon the state you want to work in and how they work their credentials. Will the Autism program also give you a general sped credential?

I have parents who are very concerned about the fact that I am teaching grade appropriate content and modifying it to meet the needs of each student.
Is this incorrect? I am not a certified special education teacher, but rather a gen. ed teacher so, what I thought was correct may not be!

It's a therapeutic education setting. I work with a non-profit and we teamed up with the school district to service students who have extreme classroom needs outside of what they can do in the typical setting. All of our students have an IEP, whether it is for behavior goals, academic goals, or both.

There really isn't a hard and fast answer. In general, prevailing wisdom is that you should be presenting material in as age appropriate way as possible (not using Disney characters with high schoolers, etc). Even that depends on the situation. For example, our son is 19 and is in a moderate to severe classroom setting. He loves Disney and we do no...See More
