Finding an English speaking behavioral therapist in central Miami-Dade County

[Guest guest]

We have some funding available for my son to get home-based behavior therapy

services through APD (don't quote me on the source of the funds - its all

beginning to run together anymore)

HOWEVER, getting someone who speaks English well who will see my son has become

impossible. The medwaiver support coordinator has tried a couple of agencies

they use, but we are coming up with nothing. We only had one person actually

show up (late - but at least he got there) but he only interviewed me and didn't

even speak to my son. Then he calls and says he wants to see my son at the

school. Well, it was June, and school had just let out for the summer. So

this peckerwood disappeared because my son wasn't in school. The whole summer

this fellow just fell off the map. This is not the kind of person who can help

my son. I would think that a behavioral therapist would actually, at a minimum,

KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE.

This is the kind of quality issue I have to deal with all the time here in

Central Miami-Dade. If anyone knows a behavioral therapist that can see someone

in the downtown Miami area, we would appreciate any referrals.

Thanks
