MemberHello, I'm wondering if any parents could offer some advice on school districts. We are looking to make a move in the next few months (currently in Vancouver) and are wondering if parents had insights into the quality and extent of services for a child with ASD in 1) North Vancouver and 2) West Vancouver? Our son is not school-aged yet but we want to settle into North or West Van for a long time. Any positive/negative feedback most welcomed and appreciated!! email is sabrownresearch@gmail.com
