Moving to Albany - 5 yr old son with Autism (Clifton Park: school districts, university)

We're relocating from Houston to Albany in the next few months. We'd like to provide a smooth transition from one ABA program to another. Does anyone have any recommendations for ABA day treatment programs or home-based programs?
Any recommendations for school districts in or around the Albany area?

Thanks for the response. I've been in contact with the Autism Society of Albany and CARD; both are very helpful resources. I was hoping to gather some advice from parents who have first hand experience with the social services within the school districts and community.

One of my friends lives in Delmar and both of her boys have Autism. They go to a special program in the Guilderland school district that focuses on Autism. Maybe check out the Guilderland school district and see if it's what you're looking for. Guilderland is a great town! Really good school system as well.
