This thread is started to help mothers encourage and support each other through the different challenges which come with raising a child with these issues (if thats the right term?).
At the moment, I am happy to moderate this chatter thread, so if you have any questions or problems please don't hesitate to contact:
Okay so I'll start. We are in the process of being assessed for whats going on with her. She has issues with sensory integration, and some characteristics of ASD. She's just turned 4 yrs old. She's my first child and has had issues with food allergies as well.
Her first assessment appointment is in week. So I'm getting a bit nervous about everything. We have a paediatrician appointment and she gets assessed by 5 different people who specialise in different areas such as OT, physio, and speech pathology.
I can't talk as a Mum with a child with sensory issues, but I am a Speech Pathologist who works in the areas of ASD and sensory issues.
I just wanted to wish you all the very best in the assessment process. It will be draining and at times, perhaps a little frustrating...but hang in there!
It's fantastic that Matilda is able to access multi-disciplinary assessment. It really is the only way to go.
Please let me know if there is any thing that I can help with on the Speech Pathology side of things (e.g. if you want help interpreting the report or help regarding what sort of questions they may ask).
Thanks Monnie!!! It will be good to have some help deciphering things. I need to get the book you mentioned in the other thread, should be a great help.
I've also read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night" and I have to say that explains a lot to me. I actually understood the boy heaps, I understood where he was coming from & his rational thinking (to me at least ).
