Our ds was diagnosed with pdd-nos and I am researching the rights of autistic children to public education in NY. This is all so new to me. Someone suggested that the best place to move to is NJ. I am not ready to leave NY--all my family is here. Anyone can suggest a usuful sites to visit? TIA [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I am not sure of a site. But do not assume that NJ will give you better therapy and schooling. They are tightening strings for services over here, we know several families that were forced to pay for private school in the past few years. [ Reply | More

You've taught her well then. Never trust the opinion of a parent if they don't also have a SN child. [ Reply | More

First, I'm sorry. Second, Dc is lucky to have you. You are doing a lot of good by doing research there are wonderful services in NY and NJ. I did the move and am very happy in NJ. You might also want to post on youbemom. There is a book about it and they'll know the name...I'm in NJ and not up to date on NY. If dc was just diagnosed there is a packet on autism speaks on what to do in the first 100 days. It's overwhelming but the sn community is here to help you. [ Reply | More
