Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hello friends, It's been a while since I have posted. I'm feeling like I need some support at the moment. You may remember that our 10 year old son with DS-Autism has significant visual impairment. He is very delayed and needs assistance with everything. We have had support from Autism Partnership this past year in a home based, after school program. ( attends a school for special needs kids. Integration is not an option.) AP told us that they will not be accepting this coming year as they don't feel this is the program for him our family. My husband and I are very discouraged by this. We feel we need some direction. Is it time to just stop trying to get involved in a program? He will never talk. He is catching on a bit to object communication. Toileting, well, we just take him every few hours. I don't know if he'll ever be trained. Does " healthy and happy " need to be our only motto? Does any one out there have an older child who is or was very delayed, and can give us some advice. Maybe I just need to hear that everything is going to be ok! Thanks in advance, Dana Sloan family; Hal, Dana, Frazer 15, 13, 10.
