My son is six years old and has autism. I just relocated to Dothan and I am very disappointed that this county does not have any programs in the public school system for the children that are high functioning. The school board system does not even know any refferal agencys where services can be render for children with autism.This is alarming! I truly believe that more funding and resources need to be available for childern with autism!!!
i am a single mother aged 44 with my only child, joseph age three. his father died a year ago last september and we live with my senior mother. i have a very limited income and want very much for joseph to have speech therapy. the county stopped when he turned three. is there any help out there for someone in my situation. it is heart breaking to say the least not being able to help my son... we are struggling here to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table......(windrider4288@sbcglobal.net)
