[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might want to ask some questions of the special needs board. I've had several au pairs but no special needs experience. It sounds to me like you need someone who is well above an au pair, but you could call your agency and discuss with them - maybe there is someone out there? Is this something a public school would be able to provide? It sounds like this goes above and beyond your childcare needs and into school/ total child needs. Good luck. [/quote] Agree that we probably need more than an au pair at this point. We did not know our child would need this much specialized assistance when we matched with our au pair 5 months ago. In theory, an older au pair, who drives well and has strong English, who has experience and training with children who have similiar needs as our child. could be a good fit. The odds finding such an au pair in any reasonable amount of time (ever?) is small. This is why I would prefer a refund to a rematch. But will APIA see our point of view? I don't know. [/quote]
