Hello, we've heard great things about the school districts in Irvine. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with moderate ASD. She's been in a special day class in San Leandro, CA and has been in every type of service since she was initially diagnosed (private OT, ABA, Speech and music therapy). The school has offered the basics, and not even OT! After sending letters she will finally have an assessment. She is transitioning to Kinder. At this point we are willing to move wherever services are… read more

I playfully hope there are programs that will support our children with autism as adults? With autism on the rise so much this should be a top priority. Will there ever be a cure for autism? Like me all of you want your children to adapt to life as much as possible when they are older. Especially for people who have a only child like we do. Thanks all in advance for reading my comment.
I was really lucky to be able to talk and do several miniate things but was not good at somethings there again wife is a big help.
We have a 15 year old son with Aspergers whom we recently had psych testing done to see how he thinks. This testing was extremely revealing of how disabled my child is with learning. We discovered that he appears very bright because he can read and speak with a tremendous vocabulary which is his strength, but he has very little executive functioning and cannot organize, and his working memory is in the 2nd percentile. All the IEP teacher's and administrator"s can see is-how smart he appears to… read more

How do u know if your child needs ABA?
It’s usually the recommendation of the Dr who diagnosed. If it’s something you’re considering then you’d have an evaluation done just like with other services like speech and OT
