I work in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Families from other countries come to our agency, in Allegheny County, to receive services. Therefore, there is a waiting list. Allegheny County offers many effective services, thereby making it difficult to accommodate all children when there are limited resorces (i.e. staff, funding, capacity/ratios,etc.). I can understand the frustration and aggrevation--parents only want the best for their children. Perhaps there is a waiting list because these services are at high demand and are considered high quality services.
