I'm not familiar with the school districts in your area but I do know we have offices in Arizona. ABA services will help your child immensely in developing the skills he is still lacking in. As professionals, we actually feel that our services are more important than an ineffective school system. I've dealt with school districts that simply didn't know how to meet the needs of our clients or simply didn't want to be bothered. I'm grateful that we are able to work with the children in their homes to assist them in achieving the greatest levels of independence, emotional, cognitive and social functioning. Each family works with our clinicians to develop their child's plan. It is customized to your child's needs. I've seen amazing things happen. I wish you the best.

The school has all of the doctors written reports and know of his diagnosis. Thank you for your response.
Have you considering sharing the diagnosis with the school? here in California we have certain public schools that have different autism programs. We are in the middle of testing my oldest to see what Autism track will suit his needs best. Once I asked for him to be tested in school they are using the Dr's diagnosis in their testing to find the best place for him. If the school does not comply go to the school district and talk to the people in the special ed department they will show all you need to do.
