Autism Spectrum Disorder

Apex Social’s professional special needs caregivers have worked extensively with children with autism and neurodiverse children. In fact, host families with children with autism make up the single largest group of Apex Social’s host families. Host families turn to Apex Social to find capable professional caregivers and international live-in nannies, most often trained occupational therapists, who understand their child’s condition and can help to implement an ongoing treatment plan and home-based therapies.
