What’s available in Paris
In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Sherman, about 62.2 miles from Paris. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care. A plan built around your home — with telehealth carrying the parent coaching between visits — is the right answer here, not the fallback.
