Hi, I have a 19-year-old son that has autism. I am familiar/knowledgeable with ABA, speech, occupational and music therapies as I utilized these with my son. I also used the PECS system when he was younger. I understand the needs and patience to care for a special needs child as well as how important a routine is.
