Relocating to Florida

 

I would advise against relocating to Florida with neurodiverse children, as my own experience with obtaining services for my child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been challenging. If you do not plan on enrolling your child in an autism-specific charter school immediately, I recommend exploring other options.Florida may not be the best choice for families of neurodiverse children seeking adequate educational resources and support. Funding challenges and recent changes in education laws have resulted in a lower ranking for funding public schools, leading to limited accessibility to specialized programs and materials.Florida's public education system and disability services face funding difficulties due to the state's lower tax rates, which can negatively impact special education resources available to students. Additionally, recent changes in educational laws have led to a decline in the quality of education provided by banning certain books from schools.While there are some excellent cities for families like Winter Park, Lake Mary winter Garden,Windermere, Orlando etc that may offer accessibility because they’re close major  attractions such Disney World, it still comes down proximity when choosing where live especially considering how far away geographically speaking! keep in mind that moving to Florida means adjusting  to fewer taxes resulting in less funds available per student which translates into battles when trying secure proper assistance within their school system especially if your child has particular needs similar those found among individuals diagnosed under Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Unfortunately, even those areas aren't immune to problems caused elsewhere across our beloved Sunshine State...
