Info on Austin/Round Rock, TX

[Guest guest]

This is not a sure thing, but my husband has an interview this week in Austin,

plus is talking with another company there and also a company in Sugarland.

I have been doing some research and have learned that there are some pretty good

areas around Austin as far as school districts go. My LO with apraxia is

turning 3 in March. I am very familiar with the preschool program here for kids

with delays and my older son briefly attended there (once I knew about it) and

was really looking forward to having my younger son there, but now things have

changed for our family and there's just not much work here for my husband.

Anyway, I have managed to gather from other people that Eanes is the best school

district in Austin proper but that it is also a very expensive area, and not

real likely we are going to find some place affordable to live (we are going to

have to pretty much abandon our condo here because on the rare occasion that a

condo in this area has sold, they are selling for half of what we paid for it 7

years ago). So we are pretty much going to have to find either a rental house

or a large apartment. I have also been told that Round Rock is comparable and a

more affordable area. I have wondered also if anyone here has any

recommendations on SLP's or support groups or any more info about what schools

are best for our kids. I am hoping if this works out that this area is more

friendly and we can find some additional support as even our support network

here is almost not existent and we will be moving very very far from family.

If nothing else, if you could just email me if you are from the area so that I

have someone to bounce ideas off of when things come up....like if we find a

house we think is good, I could ask you about the area or whatever. Just

looking for some connections and info or possible source of info.

Thanks so much!
