How Do You Know What Will Help Your Child The Most?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lawrenceville, GA

My son already has therapists lined up who he has grown to trust and has made progress with (through Babies Can't Wait). We have an opportunity to switch him to a different program (at Marcus Autism Center). My husband says that it is a gamble. I am so confused. I have been weighing the pros and cons.
