I can't seem to find an ABA therapist in our area. Mostly schools that offer the therapy through their programs. Our son is 5 and attends public school but needs help with social development and stemming diversions. He often flaps he hands and arms rapidly when over excited or worried.
There aren't any schools that I know of in the Tidewater area but have you tried OT in AND out of school?
Thanks everyone very helpful..!
Thanks @A MyAutismTeam Member
Hi, can anyone tell me which is the best State for adult autism services? I am in Illinois and having a very difficult time. I should have hired a lawyer years ago but chose to get free legal help which was a big mistake. Please folks get an advocate! Educators with masters degrees will ignore your child and say " there is nothing wrong with him". It is a cruel and heartless world!
My husband is from PGH,PA.His children from first marriage are deaf and get all kinds of help in PA.

I think about it all of the time. I want to make a plan when we have a better idea of what he might need. We do not want him to be lonely.
My Daughter is 2 and I heard they start at 3yrs but stop at 5yrs. And the waiting list is years long? People are still waiting to receive therapy and financial help for children. This information has me terrified. Because out of pocket cost and co pays off insurance won't cover it for me.
