Need: Special Needs Sitter for Afternoons, Evenings, & Weekends

I live in Garland, I have worked with autistic children and ADHD children in a clinic environment. I am looking for some extra income and we might both benefit. If interested, please email and we will talk more.

I know that Highland Park United Methodist Church has a special needs night out for parents. It is called Night OWLS. See http://www.hpumc.org/pages/Night_Owls for more information.

I wish I had a person to recommend but I do have a suggestion. Try some of the local colleges that offer special education classes. I remember reading a prior post that offered somewhat similar advice. Often times these students need the experience.

I hope you find this useful.

I believe I have a "special little guy" as well. He is only 21 months and we do not have a dx yet. Any advice while we wait would be great.

Thanks

First Baptist Church of Allen has a parents' night out for children with special needs. I believe they offer their services once a quarter, but I'm not 100% sure on that. You can contact Barbara Gentry at ###-###-#### with any questions. Hope this helps.

Question..

Hi Stephanie,
You mentioned that your child is autistic. If you don't mind, how/where/when was he evaluated? My son is slow on verbal skills and we woudl like to have him properly evaluated for learning issues/etc.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
