We are also looking at relocating in ohio,but I don't know how to start process on looking for a good school district that will fit my son, what can I do??
I agree with everyone that the standard therapies work best, speech, OT, and ABA. All the science proves this and I think most of us would agree it does actually work. We try to stay away from the latest fads because most of them do not do much of anything. Try not to fall into the trap of clinging onto hope of a cure or quick fix because there aren't any.
speech was the most helpful for me so far. My son is 3yrs old and non-verbal. But i would recommend ABA therapy as fast as you can get it =0)
