[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 318954, member: 5663"] Services she's getting now - They stopped speech therapy last year because she was "caught up". Right now I think they have an aide come in and give her some one on one time with schoolwork, but not a lot. I know she's with the occupational therapist doing some language thing because she sends home worksheets I have to read to her and have her answer and make sure she's understanding the picture and what I'm actually asking correctly. I don't think she's getting much more than that right now and that's where I'm not sure what she should get. She definitly could use some social skills therapy. I worry about her not having friends. Her gross motor skills aren't bad, but that's one of the reasons I have her in ballet. Our local school is just a regular school, we have her in an "alternative" school, which means that there is extra parent participation and some electives. I want to have her go to the Waldorf school because their approach to learning is different and she's having such a hard time with math especially. She's visual and they do things like make their own books instead of using workbooks, a lot more arts, teacher moves with the class for each grade. Her school is stopping the alt program at the end of the year as well. I don't think that our neighborhood school would be right for her due to the high instance of ESL kids (common all over the city, we have a large immigrant farm worker population here). She has a hard enough time with English alone! So it sounds like I need to specifically ask what programs they offer for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids and use their lack of it (because I assume there is none) as a way to get into the school we want? And yeah, we're still working on the diagnosis. I have not been able to find her a local doctor to help her with all this (the medication community here s*cks, I just found a woman doctor for myself after living her 4 yrs). I know I need to contact the children's hositpal about an hour from us to get another evaluation, or a recommendation for an evaluation from a closer doctor. [/QUOTE]
