Need suggestions on where to live, ( we will need to rent) and what is the best schools. I have a 6th grader, a 2nd grader, and a special needs autistic kindergardner.

For ABA therapy, there is Behavior Specialists of Indiana (BSI) at Chicago St, Valpo.
Also Innovations in Learning at US-30. They offer home based ABA. Unfortunately there are
no clinic/school based individualized ABA program in NW Indiana. Closest clinic based program is
either Chicago or Indianapolis.

If you find out more services, post it here. I'm new to Valpo area too.

Have you heard about Kidsworks?

http://kidworksllc.com/


Kidworks is a pediatric therapeutic rehabilitation clinic in Chesterton that provides services for children ranging from speech and language pathology to music therapy to classes and workshops. The therapists at Kidworks help children with autism, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, congenital disorders, physical disabilities and more.
Two mothers of children with special needs -- Cindy Griffith and Cynthia Mangan -- founded Kidworks to fill a need for quality rehab services for children in Northwest Indiana.

I am learning a lot on this:

I know a lady on the message board is trying to start a horse therapy program too. It sounds to me that there is about as forward in autism therapy as it is here. The schools are better in some places then others. I have noticed in IN that more moms use the Biomed approach to treating autism, that's not a big thing here, and its not something I have done a lot of. So I am thinking I will not be disappointed when moving. Our city now, is still in the process of building an autism center,there is nothing like Kidsworks.
