Moving to DFW plus new to ASD

[Guest guest]

My 2.5 year old son was just diagnosed with PDD and we are moving to

DFW area from Pennsylvania-- all within about a month. I would love

some school district ideas. How does the whole system work in

Texas? We can live anywhere from Richland Hills to Carrollton so we

can choose just the right school district. Does anyone have hands on

experience navigating obtaining services? I'm a little overwhelmed.

We have an apartment for 6 months in ville and have contacted

ECI. Does everyone do a home-based ABA program, fund it yourself,

find a consultant and train therapists? Any info would be

wonderful! Thank you!

You might consider using Dr. Rao to help biomedically with your

child as well. He is in Carrollton.
