We just relocated and are looking to find respite for my 4.5 year old son in the Southern California (Manhattan Beach). Does anyone have recommendations?
Check with your Regional Center. We are a client of Regional Center in our area and receive free respite hours.
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 dont know if this is a autistic thing or not. I know its a weird question and might just be specific to my kid. I just noticed today. He's almost 3.
So cute! I can totally relate to things having to be "even" 😊 I'm AuDHD with OCD and anxiety.
Our toddler has been diagnosed recently. We currently live in New York City, however, due to our job we may need to relocate to Northern/Central New Jersey or South Florida (Miami Metro). What area has the best early intervention program for toddlers? Also, we are considering getting another job to avoid moving from NYC, if it turns out NYC will be the best option for our child. Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Could you please shortly share you experience?
My 4.5 year old son is extremely picky when it comes to food. He only eats a handful of things such as Goldfish(only the coloured ones) , chips, Froot Loops. He is constantly wanting to dump the bags out and eat off the floor. He finds creative ways to distract us just to do this. Sometimes he doesn’t even want to eat it, just wants to dump. Anyone else dealt with this or have insight into why? It is extremely frustrating for me, let alone the cost and food waste.
I relate to so many of these comments myself and so wish there was an easy fix. I have a dumper here too.. not just food, anything! For finger foods, you can try the toddler no spill snack containers… read more
hello,
my son is 4 years old and on the spectrum. Im having a hard time finding an elementary school for him. He starts kindergarten in September and I feel like every school I call for open house never knows how to answer any questions about children with autism. They're very dismissive and I'm kind of getting discouraged. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
I am also in NYC and can relate. I went through the turning 5 process last year. I was told to apply to several schools while awaiting the IEP meeting which occurred sometime in May. Afterwards I… read more
What's normal autistic behavior?
Yes ! Luna does this. She constantly changes her clothes but never puts anything back. She is constantly in the fridge going after her ice cream and yoghurt.
My son attends Haugland. He started there in January and LOVES IT.
We are desperately trying to figure out where to go to get help for our 4 year old non verbal asd son. We are currently in southern ky which (pardon language) sucks as far as resources, therapy are concerned. We are to the point of relocation. Any input to best state will be appreciated. He was accepted to a school in Florida called FACE in Tampa, but not sure about the area. We have also looked at Ohio.
Relocating here just to attend FACE would be dissapointing to you. Not saying it is not a good school, just not all that to relocate for. The whole school system here is in turmoil. Even charters like… read more
I don't know where to get social skills therapy. I moved to a town that has money and was supposed to have a good special ed department and it's awful. They just keep wanting to ship him off to residential. He issues with all of the changes we had during the pandemic and immediately after between schools and being forced to move by the old landlord because she was not a nice person. Lol she bought my apartment house and wanted us out so she could renovate and raise the rent. He had lived there… read more
