[QUOTE="masso001, post: 491302, member: 13429"] Our city is one of the best in terms of offering services. So I'm surprised. So you think I should push more? He was evaluated by a neurologist for kids on several occasions. The report was given to the Special Education school for his eip. They stated that the population of kids there would not help my son but hold him back. We have a regional center too where he was getting services after being evaluated a little over 2 yrs and 8 months. Regional center only provides services till age 3 unless a significant delay can be proven. So he only got 3 months of behavioral therapy 10 hours a week plus 2 hours of parent training/ week. The neurologist has done nothing for us except give a bill for his services. Of which mostly consist of talking to me about what's going on bc my son was not compliant. He's been through ADOS testing twice. Once by the neurologist the other by a clinical trial I was trying to get him in. He's in the control group so won't be getting services there. The ABA was working but can't afford the private contract without going through the city. And like I said, we've been told he isn't eligible. I just don't know what else to do. I have him in school in hopes that he will get used to the routine. I'm hoping he doesn't have learning issues when he starts kindergarten. Bc he doesn't transition well, he doesn't engage in the group etc. He will rarely sit down w the group and pay attention. He rather be off on his own (taping things- which is his new thing. Tape).
