My son, Eugene, is a non-verbal and probably close to a low-functioning 8 years old boy. He understands simple directions but still requires a strong supervision. 1 on 1 care is desired for safety and highly desired experienced care givers for atypical children since he can be communicative depends on how much experienced you are. A transportation service maybe requested for very special occasion only, not for regular usage. Prefer to discuss schedule and duration in detail at first meeting.
