I'm sorry I did not ask earlier, but how old is your son?
My son is 3 1/2 and is high functioning as well |

| Leiley - I know EXACTLY how you're feeling. My son is currently attending a wonderful facility that incorporates him with non-diagnosed children. They have therapists on site and the teachers go through training on how to deal with our children should they have meltdowns or transitioning troubles. H... |

| Any tips on trying to get my 3 year old to cooperate with the dentist? I don't believe he'd even think about opening his mouth for the dentist. I know he needs to go. He brushes his own teeth twice a day but I know that he still needs to go for checkups. Also, he has curly hair. I have been cutting ... |

| well said MommyJones. I was actually quite offended that someone would even insinuate the notion that I may not be a fit enough mother that I had to put him up for adoption. Let alone that I would have even thought of abortion! My son is my life. I have gone thousands of dollars in to debt to help h... |

| We waited 5 years to have a child. Our son has autism (high functioning, but has an expressive language disorder) and we were going to have another but didn't for 2 reasons. 1. Didn't want to take away focus from him. 2. Terrified that another child would have autism as well. I want another child, b... |

| Thanks, ya'll. I went though Early Intervention before he was 3 and found that there's $500 available to him (that should pay for one week and I'LL TAKE IT! :) ) I found another scholarship that I'm filling out the paperwork for now. Some we're not eligible for as we JUST over the max annual income ... |

| thank you all for your words. It's unbelievable how medical insurance does not cover the cost of ABA therapy. This is the thing. My son is 3. All they can give him at school is one day a week of ABA and it won't start until the fall. I also work 45 minutes from home and his school would want to have... |

$450 for one week of preschool for children with autism
Add to that speech therapy and sensory therapy, all of the supplements, doctor's appointments, the special diet (GF/CF) foods, etc.
HOW?!? I'm a freaking wreck right now. |

| :) Wanted to update ya'll on what we found. My husband, our son and I went to the head of the special needs department with the school board and, bottom line, said that preschool was not mandatory for the school system but they decided to implemented it for the sake of the children. After discussing... |

| No, they don't pay for it. I asked if I could pay a fee to allow him to stay. They are going to do a full evaluation for his IEP. He has one other option for preschool within the city but it's not the 'designated special needs' school. It's a pre-k program that goes from 7:45 - 2:45 every day. We're... |

| Sorry I wasn't more specific. We have been going to a sensory integration therapist for the past two weeks. In her assessment, she noted that there weren't any obvious sensory issues and said that once we find a speech therapist (who has a background in sensory integration practices) that we only ne... |

| Alrighty. I met with school in my town that is designated for 'special needs' preschools that integrate with 'normal functioning' children. First off....don't like the teacher. When I asked if I could observe the class one day before my son starts, she rolled her eyes (no kidding, the Early Interven... |

Just wanted to say how proud I am of you and you are such a good mom! You and your little nugget always bring a smile to my face.
Thanks, Ting. I cannot believe you're on here! What a small (cyber)world!
and MommyJones, great advice. I'm checking out that advocacy site now! |
