8. In California, one school-aged (4 to 21) child in seven has an Individual
Education Plan which is a formal contract between the family, the public school
district, the government agency (here, a Regional Center) and any third parties
like a special education school. |

9. Virtually all disabled students have an IEP until 21.

10. After that, the school drops out, and most people with autism have an
Individual Behavior Plan for day care, housing and other services. |
|
11. Our SAITO software incorporates both types of plans, and focuses on teaching
tai chi chuan in one of five modes: at home without grading; at home with
grading; in class two hours per day; in class all day (two two-hour sessions)
and in residence in a community. |

12. Students will obtain measurably better physical health, be part of an
inclusive social group, and will have life goals. |

13. We have arranged to grant performance-based collegiate bachelor's and
master's degrees in Chen family style Tai Chi Chuan. We could, with some effort,
offer similar degrees in two of the other famous internal martial arts, Bagua
Zhang and Xing Yi Chuan. Some external martial arts have plenty of sets and
standards, but just are not suitable for the target population.

14. There is also a digital data stream for parents and physicians composed of
scores from the day's recordings. The stream forms a statistical anchor for
analyzing decisions about diet, medications, sleep and logistics: if the tai chi
scores go up, whatever else changed was righteous. With large numbers of
students one could compare anonymously. |
