RE: Hello, I'm returning to Ohio with my autisitc son - resource info requested.

[Guest guest]

Hello Kim,

Welcome back to Ohio! Integrations Treatment Center (ITC), in Mentor, is an

option as it is an autism specialty center. I am both a therapist at

Integrations and an Aunt of a child with autism. The philosophy of ITC includes

family partnership as we believe that ultimately parents or other family members

ARE the best therapists for their children. Our staff includes specialists from

the areas of Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Special Education, Nutrition

(Registered Dietician), and Physical Therapy. We would love for you to come out

for a tour! Please call (440) 578-1100 to arrange the visit.

Best wishes!

e Sweet

Kim,

Welcome back to Ohio. I know of a few DAN! docs locally (warren/youngstown) but, otherwise I don't know of many sympathetic Peds. BTW, are you still feeling pioneerish? We are opening an autism center here in Trumbull County and we will need parent's involvement. Keep in touch and welcome back!

Subject: [ ] Hello, I'm returning to Ohio with my autisitc son - resource info requested.

I'm always so thankful for great resources. And invested parents are the best ones with the best knowledge. I am returning to Ohio after living in NY for 10 years. I have a precious 6 yr old son Josiah who is Autistic with many other issues. I am so blessed for all of you who have come together in NE Ohio to network and share what you know.I am coming from a tiny town where I had to pioneer every step of the way begining 6 years ago, but where my son received many great support services and most importantly the most AWESOME medical care. Working with a team that did not disregard me but included me and often times followed my lead. Who were clearly western medicine but did not scoff at or reject eastern medicine, herbs, holistic therapies. In fact as Josiah and I pioneered things they were so open that eventually other children were told about things we've tried. I am desperately wanting to find that in Ohio and I am praying that someone out there will write me back with a great reference for another awesome medical team. While Josiah has seen many specialists I am also interested in a great family practice or pediatrician who knows that while educated and intelligent, MOM knows this child best!Were initially coming back to twinsburg while we look for another home. I'd love to connect with some of you. Thanks for taking the tine to read my hello.Have a great weekend. Kim
