HELP! Autism/ABA Information in Westchester/Tri-State New York City Area?!

Hello,

My 5-year-old son was diagnosed with autism a few weeks ago. We are
moving to tri-state area around NYC for job relocation, but have not
decided the location. Does someone know any school districts in
tri-state area/westchester country that provide / support ABA (Applied
Behavior Analysis) through their Special Eductation? Is there a
parents group/forum that advocate and promote discussion /
collaboration with schools?

Thank you very much for your information. I greatly appreciate your
help.

John, the NYS Department of Education website provides a list of state
approved schools under IDEA. Here are some links:

I also suggest that you contact the Westchester Board of Cooperative
Educational Services (BOCES) for more information. They should be able
to provide you with a list of schools.

Westchester is a great county and has some really remarkable programs
outside of the school system that can supplement your child's edcuation
and socialization.

If you want information regarding Nassau County, email me.
