We will be relocating to Rome in the new year. We have an autistic son (ASD/Aspergers) and I am wondering how autism is viewed in Italy and whether there are any support groups etc etc. Can anyone share their experience of a move to Italy with an autistic child? Thanks!

Hi,
I am in the process of relocating to Italy, and am looking for schools/programs that offer ASD services. I am a teacher and behavioral therapist with 10+ years of experience working with children and young adults on the autism spectrum.

Please email me if you can give me any information.
Many thanks!! you can also look me up on LinkedIn (Mandy Cheung)

Hi

I understand this is an older thread but I thought I might still have some luck! I am an english speaking ABA therapist with over six years of experience in the field. I have worked in both home and school settings and I am currently based in Rome. If I can help anyone with early intervention or establishing IEP's I would love to help as there are very little options in terms of specific schools for children with autism here. Please let me know!

Hello,

I understand this thread is quite old at this point. If anyone on this thread is still checking email & have any advice/resources you are able to offer, it would be greatly appreciated!

Personally, I have two sons. One 5y old who has been diagnosed in the USA as having mild-moderate autism, and one 2y old who has been identified as having autism "tendencies" and therefore a candidate for further testing.

Thank you!

Ciao everyone who is still on this thread. We are moving to Italy from the USA. We have a five year old going on six that will start 1st grade in Italy this fall. He also has mild to mderate autism. We will be living either in the Milan or Venice area and are looking for schools and even some home therapy options. We are considering the public school inclusion option if that is a good way to go or private but I heard private autism schools are not really a thing in Italy. Any info anywone can share will be appreciated. I am a US citizen but reclaiming my Italian citizenship so if citizens have more options that would be good to know to. Hope everyone as far back as the begininging of this thread has found success in Italy. Thanks
