Hello! I am from California, but now live in Chicago. I still have California connections, and just recently learned of an online support group for caretakers of kids with Autism - mostly from central California. She speaks very highly of the support her son is receiving. I"m sure she'd be happy to help you! Her email is [[email: [[email: [[email: [[email: (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) Her name is Meagan. I'll let her know to be expecting your email. Hope this helps!!

I don't live in California but you may check out these links as the schools themselves may be able to answer some of your questions.

Can i please have her email?

Thank you both so much for your help. I found the links very useful, talked to a couple of schools, and then found ABC who are consultants. The guys was really nice & talked me through how the process works in CA. I am now working with my company (based in CA) on the different types of medical insurance I qualify for, and have been put in touch with a guy in the company in same position who will be helping me out. If anyone else reads this & has done a similar thing, please get in touch.
