Pennsylvania SB139 allows a waiver from compulsory education for children with autism spectrum disorder.
Pennsylvania SB139 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to allow a parent or guardian of a child six years of age or younger to request a waiver from compulsory education if the child has been clinically diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and has been assessed by a qualified medical professional within the last six months. The waiver is approved if the child is recommended for continued intensive early intervention services and the parent or guardian provides proof of such services.
