Our son has in school services. But it was recommended that he has in home services. We know that there is cost to the in home services & insurance usually does not cover.

Yesterday I took my son(autistic, processing delay issues, & speech delays) to the pediatrician for his 11 year old check up. Doctor said he is starting puberty.
