Notes

Autism-related agencies to research:

• GHA Inc. is apparently really good
  • "farm-like setting that they are developing now"
  • similar to CLLC
  • using TEACCH principles
  • not state-run
• Autism Services Inc. "less great"
• Google "RSI Chapel Hill" (Residential Services) - "2nd choice"
  • residential staff for different developmental difficulties
  • but they don't specialize in autism
• The Murdoch Center
  • PATH
