Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 (Sorry if this posted twice) Sue, My daughter with autism will be 17 in April. She currently attends high school (Jersey School Dist) and is in the Life Skills class. We have been doing ABA with her since she was 6, and although she has made alot of progress, she is still very much effected by autism. She is still basically nonverbal, but types her responses and requests on a keyboard device. She types like a speed demon. In our program we have been working on more functional skills now like doing laundry and shopping, etc., knowing that these are skills she will need later in life. I know that I do not want her to always live at home, but trying to find a good setting to fit her needs is going to be difficult especially since we live in a rural area. I need suggestions of where to start with this process.... Thanks, Jill A. Plato 26267 Panhandle Rd.
