We (Center for Autism and Related Disorders) have two offices in Massachusetts now. We are out of Plymouth and the Boston area. If you're seeking ABA services or resources, they may be able to help. I also suggest searching for parents via their zip code, that are on this site to ask them specifically about the school in the areas you're considering moving to. :)

Most of the school systems in MA are the same as to what they provide so I would make the choice by which area you can afford. Of those towns Cambridge and newton are going to be the most expensive.

I would also contact early steps because your child is under 3, and also the Department of developmental services and apply for services, they can help. You will also want to apply for Mass Health for insurance. If you already get SSI and you combine them you will have no co pays for your child

I live in Waltham MA and he's attending the Waltham Public Schools and I do not have any complains about them. Hope that is helpful.
