  1. I don't see why not, and it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask the 504 team if this could be added as an accommodation. However, I don't know if the school will agree. When you say he was "tested," was he tested for academic achievement or just behavior? You might reach out and ask for additional testing - something else might be going on such as dyscalculia. Also, depending on how low his scores are in math, he might qualify for an IEP, which would give him specialized instruction in math - hopefully in a manner that works for him.

  2. If parent training is needed, you have a few options in a virtual school. You can hire someone local to the parent and do in-person training at their place of residence or a library or other public building. You can do training over Zoom (or similar platform) which could be for just for these parents or a group of parents with similar needs. This can be done by school personnel or someone the school hires. My county does parent training but this is more-so geared toward parents found to be abusive or neglectful toward their children. It's free and they make sessions available to anyone. It might not be as targeted to these parent's needs since you're inferring they need autism-specific training. Another option is a book club with virtual meeting. A book like Ross Greene's The Explosive Child is a great parenting book for every parent. (He also wrote Raising Human Beings. I haven't read this one but I'd recommend it too.) School social worker could also work with families on this on an as-needed basis. I think getting the point across that these are required for the parents is going to be the hard part.
