Members warmly welcomed a Spanish-speaking parent seeking guidance on relocating to the US with three children who have ADHD, autism, and ADD, offering bilingual resources and reassurance that federal special education laws (IDEA) apply nationwide regardless of state. Several members shared valuable details about state-level differences, emphasizing that while educational rights are protected everywhere, social services like in-home therapy, respite care, and community support vary significantly by state, with some recommending states known for strong autism programs and urging the parent to connect with free advocacy organizations in each state. A recurring theme was the community's empathy for the parent's challenging situation, encouragement to bring an advocate to school meetings, and the collective hope that better services and support await the family in the US.

Not to be biased but Ohio has wonderful education for children with ASD. They offer a scholarship to any child diagnosed with ASD to attend or get services outside Public school.

Ingles es mi primer lengua pero tengo algunas respuestas. Cada estado es diferente pero las leyes para educacion especial son para todo los estados unidos:

Aqui ay unos recursos sobre el proceso:

Este es un manual sobre el proceso--este es escrito por un distrito:

Va a necesitar una persona para ir con usted a las juntas con las escuelas porque pueden ser dificil a veces. Pues, muchas veces! Muchas escuelas no entienden la ley y un padre necesita saberla y recursos si hay problemas.

La diferenzia mas grande es en los servicios sociales en cada estado. Hay estados que dan servicios como terapia en casa, en la comunidad, horas para una persona venir a su casa para cuidar a su ninos que tienen descapacidades pero otro estados no hagan nada.

Cada estado tiene programas y agencias sin fines de lucro (?) que ayudan a familias que tienen discapacidades. Pero tambien hay agencias se llama Protection and Advocacy en cada estado que tienen abogados gratis para ayudar personas con descapacidades.
