My family is relocating to Chattanooga and my daughter (3rd grade) has PDD-NOS. I need help in finding the best school for her. Can anyone give me suggestions of who offers the best services?
Thank you.
HI Connie, Would you be more specific in what you need please? Are you in the Chattanooga area? Do you have a child with autism and if so how severe is it?
HI Linda, I will email you a more detailed letter this afternoon. Is your daughter in a full-time special ed class now or is she mainstreamed some with other kids? We have a local Autism group in Chattanooga. They help many families with services, rights, camps, playgroups and special events. If you are in the area, they are across the street from Erlanger hospital at 1000 East 3rd Street suite 100. Phone is 622-0500, I believe. Team Centers which is a special needs medical center runs it and this is their number. Just tell them you are inquiring about the autism center. The Chattanooga Autism Center is free and run by Team plus parents. We meet every Thursday at noon. It is for all ages.
Any ideas for day care or preschool for my 3 yr-old son who is severely autistic. We live in Ringgold, GA. My county does not offer fulltime pre-school.
Jennifer, have you checked out Siskin Children’s Institute for early intervention? 648-1700. Your son’s disability entitles him to services regardless where you live. Check out the autism center to at 622-0500 in Chattanooga. They meet on Thursdays at nooon at 1000 East 3rd Street on the first floor. They can help you with your rights and services that must be provided. The sooner he gets help the better off he will be in the future. Please call both of these places right away to get help. Please stay in touch with us, too.
