I don't have the numbers but you have to call. If you call your local county MHMR they can direct you to the right place. Just beware that there is little in the way of public help here, the school districts are not the greatest, get ready for a fight. The waiting lists are there but they are 7-10 yrs long. You ate better off with going with private schooling (Easter Seals has been awesome for us....) with private grants if you need them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I might as well break the bad news to you now so you don't face to find out the hard way....Carolyn WSent from my iPhone
