What’s available in Altus
In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Lawton, about 50.5 miles from Altus. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care. A plan built around your home — with telehealth carrying the parent coaching between visits — is the right answer here, not the fallback.
