Hmmm I probably should have included that! LOL yep.. my mind is

definately not all here.. we would like to stay in the

soutwest/western burbs.. currently in olmsted falls, so far we are

thinking: avon, avon lake, bay village, north olmsted, westlake,

berea, brook park, middleburgh heights, or in the surrounding areas

from there... I know that we have looked at a house in Parma

Heights.. but have mixed feelings because from family we are hearing

very mixed opinions about the schools..

Avon Lake, I believe, actually contracts with the Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism to provide consulting services for their autism program, which might be a really good thing. I don't live in Avon Lake and I haven't dealt directy with the school district, however.
