Nat whatever 'intensive therapy' you are doing ie aba, dir, rdi.

sonrise etc.

You will need to get it put on your child's SEN statement....which

usually means 1 year on average going through tribunal. But some

LEA's will give in and give the therapy.

I spent £££'s training the LSA in ABA but she never did it....now I

have home tutors that go into m/s... the consistency is fantastic. I

feel so much better someone with right attitude/motivation is now

helping my son.

tat

You need to apply for statement...if you have one the annual

review....when they rewrite the statement you have so many weeks to

appear when it is finalised....so this is the right time of year for

you!But mention it in Annual Review....if you know what therapy you

want...otherwise use this time to look at what would meet your

child's educational needs first.

It depends on what level your child is at to what therapy is used I

guess.... sonrise for starters,ABA is the foundation of learning, RDI

or DIR I would consider to move onto for more social skills as my boy

gets older. Still depends though on level your child is at. LEAs are

more likely to fund ABA or DIR as classed 'educational'.

, I didnt realise either adrenal gland effect how 'social' to

much for him....I will try a bath after school...good idea! He is on

very high Vit C like you said!
