are you sorted for the Early Intervention Funding? You need a piece of paper stating the dx of PDD-NOS and send it in - did anyone advise you on this part of it?

Supermumma Showbag info lol

I'm waiting on the report and paperwork to come yet, I was told over the phone that the report is on it's way. She mentioned a copy had gone to his paed, to DSC and one to me. ATM I know nothing of what we have to do lol.

And that showbag is awesome

Maybe rethink going for a spectrum assesment. It's practically free under the mental health plan and if he scores within the right area you will have $12,000 to go towards all the therapy. If he doesn't score high enough, nothing lost.

In the end I went for it (even though I thought DS was borderline) and still not totally convinced its Aspy - wether he is or not remains to be seen but the help we got totally changed our lives.
We were referred publicly in May 2010, some paperwork got lost in the mail and he had his assessment in December 2010. So the wait list is not really that long considering. Although we are in WA... but we had to wait a bit longer to wait for a team to come to us to do the assessment, it could have been done sooner if I went to them. It cost us nothing to do it that way.

I had the same attitude as Lulu, it was worth a try.
