Can you afford to hire a college student who is majoring in a social services related field maybe even in your church? Sometimes they come real cheap and are very enthusiastic and need experience in their field. There are other options out there it just takes a while to get our brains churning out ideas.

Cajun, we certainly could afford that. We have tried. You cannot get anyone to handle a 180lb autistic client that tantrums !! It usually takes a trained person who has been through classes. It really is a lot different that " babysitting". These adults are severe in their tantrums and behaviors.
