I can say as this school year comes to a close I have had an extremely successful first year.  I have navigated through the ARD progress and writing good IEPs.  I learned how to align ABLLS-R to TEKS and keeping 8 to 10 severely Autistic and non-verbal students engaged in learning. I had a group of wonderful Instructional Aids (4) that helped me every step of the way.
So after having a great year I have decided to blog about my experiences in the classroom and to collaborate with other teachers.
