I have been to temple that is were our speech thereapy eval was done. But we have private insurance so they won't take us. Re: Resources in Texarkana I found this info: Temple Memorial Rehabilitation Center<http://east-texas.easterseals.com/site/PageServer?pagename=TXEA_locations\ >in Texarkana, TX, was originally created to address the polio epidemic in the early 1950s. Now that autism<http://autism.healingthresholds.com/glossary#term105>is considered an epidemic, Temple provides early intervention <http://autism.healingthresholds.com/glossary#term306>, occupation, speech, and physical therapies. Their goal " is to try to make the services available to people *regardless of their ability to pay*. " ** http://east-texas.easterseals.com/site/PageServer?pagename=TXEA_locations I just had a quick second to look this up, but will try to help you find more resources later...
