Increasing Joint Attention
Our 2.7 year old son has a difficult time with joint interaction/attention. He pays attention for 5-10 seconds at a time sparingly throughout the day.

Since this is a big step/move, we want to make sure we choose a place that will have excellent services for our son throughout his childhood and very good services for adults (activities, but more realistically, residential facilities for when we are too old). My husband can probably get a job in California (Bay Area) and Massachusetts. Has anyone had experience with both places and… read more
