I you don't already, subscribe to [[email: [[email: [[email: [[email: (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) for all autism-related services/info/events in San Diego and OC. It's a newsletter that comes out a few times a week. Just a few days ago, there was a post for an event on navigating IHSS. I think it was put on my a special ed law firm, Schwartz and Storey? I do know that you can appeal the decision immediately if you are rejected. It's not usual to be rejected or to have an unhelpful caseworker.

Hi there. I used the county's Early Intervention Services. It is a free assessment of your child and free, in home, therapy maybe once or twice a week. They have a TON of resources. I am not sure that the social services you mention is the same thing. Let me know. I have a lot of experience in all of this. It's a work in progress for my little 5 year old. Thanks!
