My first question to them would be about their philosophy concerning the care of children with disabilities. The answer will make all the difference to how he is treated. Next I would ask to see the credentials for the staff and ask about hiring policies. Then, I would look at how clean the home is and ask about measures for fire and earthquakes. Finally, I would drop in when I wasn't expected to see how things are done and if the children are being treated the way they said they would treat them. Get references too from people who have had their children there.
