Do we have a professional directory?

Hello,

Do we have a collected directory, from members of services for

our kids? People that would be reccomended for therapies, etc.

I was just wondering...

HI,

I don't know you, but I wanted you to know that I have been working on a booklet for families who are looking for services. I am going to be presenting it to my local fire station. (THey helped me so much one day when my daughter needed help..long story) I was so surprized that my local community rescue agencies etc. had little to NO info on where to send or rec. families for help. So..as you may have already guessed, I have been putting to gether my own resource list. Sort of gathering info for all area, and agencies. Not to put 211 down in any way, they are a wonderful help for many poeple. However, I was avle to obtain thier list! I have found that several people or places on the list are no longer on the list, or numbers have cxhanged etc.

I have been asking may people to share their information with me so I can help others like myself. However, getting people to share their info regarding therapists etc. is very hard to do. If you have any local agencies where you live(I am in Palm Beach) I would love to add them to my list. Another problem I have found is finding people who Speak Spanish who can help others learn where to obtain therapies etc.

Please get back to me if you would like to help,

Skys Mom

There is a directory called "Connections for Kids". It is produced by Mental Health Association of Broward County with funding from Broward County.

It is a service guide for all children, but is more for children with learning or other disabilities or from troubled households, etc. There are many agencies & programs.

ARC is in there, FND, CARD, FDLRS, etc.

There is lots of information, besides it being just a directory--there's about 150 pages.

There may be specific autism therapists in there, I just didn't see any off hand. However, I have the 2007 version. There is an application for inclusion right in the book in the back.

And providers are encouraged to advise "connections for kids" of "additional themes, topics, or changes that will make next year's book even more useful....".

The guide is availabe online at www.mhabroward.org.

Maybe someone (anyone?) should suggest to them a specific "autism therapists" section.

And all therapists that are now reading this should perhaps please apply for inclusion in the guide?!
