Thanks for the info.
We are in San Diego County, here in
Oceanside. How old is your son and how long have
you been getting services? Do you think the amount
of hours VS your friend is related to the need of the
child or by using CARD. I was thinking of using CARD too.
Do you like them? Are you getting any respite?
I am still waiting for someone to come out and assess
what and how many hours he should get.
I am open to any and all advices.

Thanks again~

Michelle
