Welcome

The Oakland County Chapter was founded in 1985 by a group of concerned parents. Today it is one of over 200 Chapters of the Autism Society of America (ASA). The ASA is the oldest autism advocacy group in the country. The Oakland County Chapter is also one of 13 Chapters in Michigan. The Oakland County chapter is made up of over 200 members. Our membership is open to all those who care about people with autism. The Board of Directors is a volunteer body elected by the membership.

Special Education Dispute Resolution

The ASA-OCC collaborated with four other organizations to create a new parent-friendly helpful document entitled: Special Education Informal Dispute Resolution Processes, An Oakland County Parent's Guide. In only three pages, the basics of communicating effectively with the school, requesting a service for your child, IEPT meetings, Facilitated IEPT Meetings, Local Resolution Processes and Mediation are explained. We hope you find the color coded flowchart and hot links easy to use and reference. Early Resolution is the Best Solution!
