California Vs. Massachusetts For Child And Adult Svcs?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Hello, we are looking to relocate permanently to a place for better autism services. We currently live in Texas.

Thank you so much! It’s nice to know those things are available even if they are hard to obtain (better than not being available at all). I will post after NyE! Thank you for taking the time to post!

Thanks so much for your advice! This is very helpful! I wasn’t aware that the Miller Method was associated with NJ. I think I tangentially heard about it through @Floortime.

I don’t think we are anymore strain on limited resources than anyone else. We haven’t gotten any government assistance (they made us pay full price for their Early Childhood Intervention—the 45 min a week we were allotted for our then 2 year old with mod/severe ASD). But we have concerns about the quality of services available in the public schools in our city that our son would end up in. Good for NT kids, not great for kids with ASD.
