My young brother is 7 years old, and we don’t see much improvement at the school he’s attending right now. The teacher doesn’t seem to care. We would consider to private schools if we have to as a last resort. But if we can find a good public school, it would be great. Thank you!
I have 2 kids with Autism and I would love for them to be involved in sports but it is difficult to find a team that can help children with Special needs.
i am looking for alternative methods to treat, my childs condition.
i want to know the atmosphere of the classroom? what is the daily routine? How is it different from other classroom?
My 2 year old son has just been diagnosed with Autism and we are told he will need ABA therapy. I have started to check on this and it is SO expensive. The cheapest I can find here where we live in COlorado is over $1,000 a month. I just want to know how people afford this. I can not afford to do this but I cant seem to find any help in paying for this for him. I want to get him all the therapy he needs but not sure how finacially to do this. I found out that I can get Medicade to help pay for
part of it but it takes over a year to get in the system.
Untill then I feel a little lost. My insurance will pay for him to get Speech therapy but no luck with the ABA part. I hear good things about this type of therapy and how it really helps children and want to do whatever I can for him. He is so young and early intervention with therapy will really help him but not sure what to do next. Does anyone know of any financal help to get therapy for children with Autism. Any help appricated.
I already tried SSI but they said we make too much for him to qualify. That suprised me because I thought that he could get it because he had a disability not because of income. And trust me we don’t make too much money.
My daughter is completely content playing by herself pretty much all day long. She constantly wanders off by herself. Do children with autism typically behave this way? She’s 11 months old.
More specifically, does anyone have an opinion on the quality of services in public schools in Long Island, New York?
I know that quality varies from district to district; anyone know of good districts to move into?
Would getting a doctorate be superior or make not much difference considering a majority of people in the field hold Master’s degrees? What kind of Master’s degrees are typically held for people in the field? (Im currently studying psychology) Also, any idea about academic programs? Which are better (specifically in the New York area)? Thank you!!!
Several times in the debate on Wednesday night he mentioned that Sarah Palin knows so much about autism and that parents bring their children with autism to his rallies??? In most cases, you can’t tell if a child has autism just by looking at them. And Sarah Palin’s son has Down’s Syndrome, not autism.
My family will be moving to California and work in Oakland, CA which is along the bay area of San Francisco. We need help in moving and looking for the best place to get services for my daughter with Autism.
