What type of therapy is for sensory disorder?? Questions about PDD-NOS diagnosis?We Answered:
Personally, I think if this were MY child I would find a different neurologist. The one you have right now is not respecting your knowledge of your child. Most parents of children with special needs know children can have seizures and a "normal" EEG. You should also find a pediatrician who specializes in children with Special Needs. It would be ideal if you can find a Developmental Pediatrician. Find doctors you are willing to treat you as part of your son's "team". They can be hard to find but it will be worth the effort.The key to ANY Special Ed program is to be the squeaky wheel. You want to be seen as the very involved parent who will do ALL it takes to help your child. Be respectful and keep asking for what you believe your child needs. At this point one session of speech therapy "might" be enough but ask WHY they believe more wouldn't be helpful.Do not accept budget or lack of funds as a reason. The law requires that children receive the services they need. Like I said be respectful but make sure you are assertive with your requests. If you don't ask you probably won't receive all the services your son needs.
My son with Aspergers is 19 and never received ABA so I can't really comment on that, but your son may benefit from ABA. Early Intervention should be able to give you more information and there is tons of information online. You can hire private therapists to provide therapy in your home if you desire.
Raising a child with Special Needs is very challenging at times but so rewarding. Keep advocating for your child and NEVER give up. When my son was eight years old a speech pathologist, who I really liked and respected, told me she felt he would probably need a group home or assisted living as an adult. He is 19 and still living at home but he WILL be on his own someday. His personal goal is to be in his own home when he is 24. I think that is quite reasonable and likely to happen.
