I am the mom of an 8 yr old boy with PPD-NOS and ADHD. We homeschool and are looking for homeschooling groups that focus on special needs children and have social gatherings or group activities. Any groups in North Texas who do this? We live in Anna, TX (north of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex)

I'm am looking to relocate to the Nashville "area." I'm probably going to end up in Dickson Co, but don't mind to drive into Nashville or Franklin for services. I'm looking for suggestions for medical care across the board. I'll need to set my son up with a new pediatrician, OT, SLP, and hopefully ABA. Any suggestions on where to get these services would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Oddly enough the school district by God had better get you some services. You need to know 504, IDEA,ADA,ADAA. GOOGLE GEBSER LETTER

I'm curious if the light therapy worked.
I'm trying to get more information on a neurodegenerative disease called Mitochondrial Dysfunction. What I've learned so far is that many cases of "mito" are initially diagnosed as ASD because the condition is associated with many of the same symptoms of ASD. In my case specifically, I have an 8-year old girl diagnosed with ASD in 2012 (she was initially diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome) and she has ADHD. Lately, she has been really sleepy. It's not constant though. It comes and goes… read more
My son is getting treated with Dr. Goh. She is an amazing neurologist who works with kids with mitochondrial dysfunction. She has created a cocktail for the dysfunction called Mitospectra. I found it… read more
I have been searching for resources to get help for my daughter for 3 months to no avail. She has Medicaid and apparently there is a shortage of providers. Can you provide any insight or guidance?
