He would be in Kindergarten in Fall of '09 and would need support (a SEIT) in the classroom with him if it were a typical school. Our first priority for where we'd move to would be a good special needs situation for him (and of course a supportive family oriented community for us all). A short commute to the University would be fine. Please let me know what you think! Thanks so very much!

I work where you will be working! There is an Autism Research Center at the Gevirtz Grad School of Education and I am sure they can direct you to the correct resources in town. The office phone number is 805-893-2176.
I have lived in SB for over 22 years and worked on campus for 16 so if you have any questions, lemme know!
