Autism resources in Idaho?

Hi,

My wife is completing her residency in emergency medicine this year, and we are looking to relocate to a friendlier resource environment for our 3 year old autistic son. We currently live in Ohio and are supporting our own home based ABA style program and utilizing the public school district's general special education preschool (12 hours/week during the school year) We have been negotiating an IEP for about 3 months now, but the school is really unwilling to give anymore than the bare minimum. We had been looking to move to the Northwest, and I have heard some very good things about the general climate for resources in Idaho. A Washington ASO contact said that all autistic children in Idaho can receive 30 hours/week of ABA. Is this accurate? I've run into a lot of rumors that just don't pan out. If so, what is the availability like for ABA. I had been pushing to look at Idaho as a possiblity for relocation, but we hadn't heard good things about autism resources until now. Can anyone out there give me a general feel about things in Idaho.

Thanks,

Vince Dwyer
