I will be moving to San Diego soon. My boys aged 12 and 6 are in the autism spectrum. Both had their clinical diagnosis done when they were 4 and 3 years old respectively. Both diagnosis were done in Ontario, Canada. I am seeking help in navigating through San Diego autism services, will the diagnosis report we have be enough to get them an IEP for school? otherwise how do we get them an IEP? Any suggestion on clinical psychologist in San Diego area? Many thanks.
The schools will redetermine each child's Autism levels and thyen assign them their IEP..
We are planning to move from Canada to San Diego. My boys are in the spectrum, one in low functioning autism spectrum with good interest in art and music and the other in mild spectrum range with tantrums.
I am seeking suggestion on which school district is better for kids in low function spectrum. Advice on advocating for getting them into school program that would help them. How does transportation work for kids in spectrum. Thanks in advance..

And I spent 4… read more

Thank you! We are receiving early intervention, ST and OT, but not ABA yet. We just received the diagnosis but we did not expect to get level 3. Praying it will all be beneficial.
I honestly get that! Life can be extremely draining and exhausting! I’m glad you were able to get some naps in after helping your mom! :)
Mine got potty trained at about 2 but we did it the hard way by letting him pee himself so he got the idea of something being wrong, it was messy but only took a few days for him to get the idea!
I cooked dinner for my sister and her 2 son's she has cancer.
