My son has autism

Hello,
I just joined this forum. I am hoping that someone in the Zurich area will be able to offer me some information on pre-schools, programs, etc. for me. I have a 3 year old son with autism and I need to mainstream him in with other children to build on social skills. I would love to find a place that offers applied behavior analysis. Thanks, Sally

There is a new Yahoo group that recently formed that might be of help, in case no one here has information that can assist with your search.

Best of luck

On the homepage autismus.ch, click "Organisationen" and scroll down to Diagnose- und Beratungsstellen. There are several in canton Zurich (basically all with an 8xxx post code). I'm sure that after a talk with you or a first hand diagnosis, they can point out appropriate events to you.
