5 Year Old And Food/eating Aversions

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Deland, FL

Applying For IHSS In Ventura County

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ventura, CA

Hello, hope all is well with everyone. I was wondering if anyone here has gone through the process to become the qualified caregiver through IHSS for a child with autism? Also, has anyone qualified for “Protective Supervision" of children with special needs? The americanaadvocacygroup.com, AAG, claims they can assist at every stage of this process. Does anyone know if they are legit?
