We live in the state of New Jersey. My son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was nearly three years ago. My town school district placed him to out of district school because of no placement was available in our town.

Anyone have any idea that will help us out. Ethan is non verbal. Signing and communication cards we just started weeks ago. Can't seem to get him to use the potty. He will just sit but nothing. We keep working with him but him being non verbal makes it a little hard. Still stuck in diapers.
Thanks everyone for all the tips. I will start with one and move to another if need be.

This is the big question that hovers over all of us.
