Therapist Accused of 8-Year Abuse | San Antonio News

A San Antonio occupational therapist has been arrested for allegedly sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl with autism over eight years — beginning when she was just four — during home therapy sessions. The abuse reportedly occurred at the child’s home and her aunt’s house, with the victim only speaking up after being taken to a clinic due to discomfort. Now facing serious charges, Barber worked for Aveanna Healthcare. Meanwhile, Texas lawmakers are debating school start dates, with Rep. Jared Patterson pushing back against mid-August openings, citing heat, athlete safety, and grid strain — as the state grapples with both personal and systemic challenges as the school year begins.
