[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 537091, member: 11847"] If it were me, I would start talking about the services he will be getting next year. And see where the conversation takes you, how he reacts, what are his questions, etc... You don't have to have this conversation all in one time. With V who is a lot younger, I don't use diagnosis. But he does ask me why he needs therapy. So when he asks, I reminds him of what is hard for him and how the therapists are helping him (ie: speech therapy to help him find the words, Occupational Therapist (OT) to help him put his shirt the right way and not be afraid on the swing, etc...). Basically, start with what HE thinks is hard. [/QUOTE]
