You might even want to call his office and see if he knows of anyone in the field in your area.

She leaves in MD. Does not sound like we have anyone that great here, although I may check at Kennedy Krieger or Hopkins -- that may be a possibility. The child is already at a "special school" and now his younger brother is beginning to "act out." 
 
Thanks for all of your help and kindness.
