Moving

We have made the hard decision as a family that we need to move back to Salt Lake for Gracie's care. Since we started this journey in September of 2011 we have been trying to get Gracie services, specifically speech and occupational therapy, a special needs preschool and ABA therapy.  So far we haven't received ANY services.

We have succeeded in getting an official diagnosis from 4 different places but we would have to depend on the school district for most of our services. I have no issue with the school district but there isn't anyway they can provide the level of care that Gracie needs.

I have secured Gracie a spot at the Carmen B Pingree School for Children with Autism in Salt Lake City Utah. This is an Autism specific school where she will get the best quality education, and also be under the care of a Developmental Pediatrician at Primary Children's Hospital. Gracie will qualify for ABA therapy and hopefully she will learn to do the things that other children take for granted like learning how to talk, use the bathroom, or how to play with another child.

We will be moving to Salt Lake in time to start the Spring Semester in January 2013.
