My best friend is in this process at the moment. She currently lives in an IRA and is looking to get her own apartment once again. She has an FI and a broker at this point, I believe. I do know that one has a budget that covers their expenses and that they hire their own staff.

The resources I got was by hiring my team with the Autism funding but it was a lot of work to find the correct providers. I interview around 34 professionals until I select the correct ones who makes click with my daughter personality. It was a lot of work but it worth it. I am now looking for teacher assistants as my kid will enter to kindergarten.
