Hi everyone! I hope you are all surviving the heat and the final

days of Summer break. We have moved and are now in Loganville/

Walton Co. in the Youth Elemetary zone. I need so many things that I

will just list them. Thanks in advance for always being so helpful

and willing to share resources, I am so thankful!

A ped who will be okay w/vaccine exemption (I recall someone

mentioning a ped in Snellville maybe?)Someone who is kind, caring,

patient and obviously competent =)

An SLP who is willing to work as a team with ABA/VB staff. I want

someone great with ASD kids and uses a playbased/errorless method of

teaching versus more Lovaas like approach.

An OT who is very trained and experienced in sensory needs of ASD

kiddos. I'd love one who is good w/hyperactivity and mega, and I do

mean mega sleep issues. Let's just say I am up at 2am cause Jake is

up too. I won't go into the novel of things we have tried but know

this issue is either medical or sensory based... or perhaps both.

ABA/VB therapists to work 25-30 hours a week w/Jake. Would very much

prefer someone trained and experienced in Carbone/VB style. However

will train if needed. Our 2 girls just left us for different

reasons. One didn't want to drive an 1-1.5 hrs each way which she's

have to do when we moved. The other just felt that she wasn't

getting VB and was so stressed about not getting it right all the

time that she was making herself physically ill. Both awesome, huge

hearted girls we hated to lose not to mention the 4 months and 8k

invensted in training them. But such is life and we will somehow

move forward =)

A good dentist for Jake (or for that matter my husband and I)

An understanding barber or stylist who will cut my son's hair while

3 people hold him down and he screams and swings his head around

like a scene from the Exorcist. It is that bad...

A good PCP for me and my hubby

A good chiro for me

A church with a special needs component where my husband and I can

attend services knowing Jake is in a safe, loving and hopefully

learning environment. We are non-denominational and not into

shaming, hell fire and damnation types of churches. Looking for

loving, upbeat, positive, active church =)

A good GYN for me

Any feedback on Youth Elementary and/or private schools in the area

that I might be able to utilize or investigate. BTW, Jake is almost

6 and would be entering Kindergarten.

Also anything else that might be helpful to know about in the

Loganville, Grayson, Snellville and surrounding areas

Oh and any leads on babysitters too =)

Thanks once again!
