Upstate NY/Monroe county resources

  Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic

Hello,

My son does not have an official diagnosis yet and we are going to the dev pediatrician next week. Any upstate newyorkers here with experience with ABA/DIR in Monroe county and I would appreciate any ideas regarding different agencies.How is NY in terms of resources.

Thanks

We live in Clinton County NY, but the state services should be similar.  We have a caseworker through Sunmount DDSO.  They are part of the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities.  Our caseworker is awesome!
She can get us equipment, @ home services, a fence so ds could play outside.  They have Respite Houses and a Crisis Intervention Team that came out to show us holds that are more effective than the ones we were using.

Hope this helps.
