I'm moving from Chicago, IL to Philadelphia, PA very soon. But I'm not sure where about there will be a school for my 5 yr old son with Autism. Does anyone know any schools near Roosevelt Rd and Stevens St. Thanks
Are there any schools for my son with Autism near 19149?

I am not located in Philadelphia, but would suggest using the "Find a School" feature here at Greatschools. You'll find the link in the green bar up above. Once you find a school in the area you mentioned, give them a call to discuss your son's needs.
Does you son have an IEP in place already? Has he attended pre-K where you currently live? What kind of accommodations is he currently receiving?
You can also contact the local Autism Society of America: www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pennsylvania to check out resources in the area you're interested in. They should be able to give you helpful information regarding schools, support groups, etc.
Finally, I'd invite you to join the Autism & Asperger's Syndrome group here at Greatschools: community.greatschools.net/groups/18940. I've posted information on Autism and Asperger's there, as well.
Good luck, and please let us know what you find out.
Another group you might consider getting involved with is www.autismspeaks.org, as they may offer some local family support in your new area.
