Seriously, I would provide a home ABA program while your child is young. I

suggest the people at Autism Partnership out of CA> They are Lovaas people.

I would not even try to get anything from the schools. You can look at the

TEA files and see how many families have been taken to due process by Texas

schools. It is awful. You could put up the fight and try to get what is

right for your child, or take it on your own and run a home program.

Capital school is good but non inclusive. It is a school for kids with

Autism. So it depends how you feel about that.

Best of luck but I would not even begin with the public schools. We have

been forced to homeschool and the stress is so much less.
