Thanks for replying. As I mentioned, her mom is in denial. I have brought up

the subject of putting her in the public school system but she is adamantly

against it. They live in Lufkin Tx and she thinks the schools there will

corrupt her child. If I try to press the issue she shuts me down and won't

listen.

I know she has a lot of emotional issues also and refuses to take any advice

from anyone. I wonder if I can get the ball rolling by having someone other

than family contact her and talk to her. I just don't know who that someone

is. I also have 4 kids of my own with problems but I am afraid for this little

girl. Thanks for all your help.

i've been on the group IEP guide and it is

great. you should try that. there are alot of

discussions about services through thte schools, the

laws, and what is required, the time frames. I think

your great niece at 4 would be in the school system,

and her evaluation should be through child find and

should not be taking more than 90 days.

Hi ...

Since your great niece is 4 years old, you should be going through the local

school system for an evaluation. She is too old for any Early Intervention.

Have her mom give the local school system a call - the Special Services

Department - and set up an evaluation. This should not take long. If she makes

the call before Christmas, she should have the ball rolling shortly after. To

be sure that the school system remains in compliance, she should check out the

state's educational website for information on what to expect - it should

outline how long to get an evaluation, what the outcome will be, what the

criteria are etc.

If you would like more information, feel free to contact me.

Good Luck!

Carla

need help with information

Hi,

I have a four yr old great niece for which whom I am very concerned about.

She has never talked in sentences and can't communicate with anyone except for

a few words. If you ask her a question she will repeat a phrase over and over

related to something totally different than what you asked her. Her

parents(my niece) have not taken her for any treatment. They have been on a

waiting

list for about 6 months now just to have her evaluated. I think they are in

denial there is anything wrong. She seems very bright and can repeat abc's and

gets the answers right on her learning toys. She is very sweet but will throw

tantrums and get frustrated. The parents don't have money to get her

privately tested and have to rely on whatever her insurance will cover or

government

agencies. I would like to be able to give her information on where she could

go to get this done sooner. If anyone can give me ideas I would be most

grateful. Also any websites with information.Thanks.

Have her call Autism Research Institute or go to their website. THey have a

questionaire that they could fill out that would give them some direction as

to if she is falling within the spectrum.

She does not have to accept the schools services, but she can get an

evaluation from them. She will learn that lots of folks homeschool their child

with

autism. There are even a couple of listserves for that. I too am a

homeschooler.

Lastly, some universities have free programs for children with autism. If

you live near a university, give their speech and education departments a call.

evaluated at the Child Study Center in Fort Worth.

need help with information

Hi,

I have a four yr old great niece for which whom I am very concerned about.

She has never talked in sentences and can't communicate with anyone except for

a few words. If you ask her a question she will repeat a phrase over and over

related to something totally different than what you asked her. Her

parents(my niece) have not taken her for any treatment. They have been on a

waiting

list for about 6 months now just to have her evaluated. I think they are in

denial there is anything wrong. She seems very bright and can repeat abc's and

gets the answers right on her learning toys. She is very sweet but will throw

tantrums and get frustrated. The parents don't have money to get her

privately tested and have to rely on whatever her insurance will cover or

government

agencies. I would like to be able to give her information on where she could

go to get this done sooner. If anyone can give me ideas I would be most

grateful. Also any websites with information. Thanks.

What my son needed for language is written here

To eliminate this problem, my son needed anti-virals, B12, TMG, folic

acid, and carnitine. Plus yeast control.

If she would be interested in homeschooling her daughter she may want to look at

this site:

www.ican-do.net

The advantage to her would be Christian, homeschool friendly, private, no labels

- just treating the issue.

There are many locations for evaluations so that also would be a plus.

I knw you said that the mom is in denial and that also they do not trust the

school system. How about buying her a copy of Dr. Ken Bock's book??

Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma and Allergies? It

might give her a framework for what she is seeing in her daughter and also

it might give her a " reason " to stop being in denial. Since the book is

also about allergies (not jut autism), she might not feel threatened by it;

and I am not sure there is a family out there who couldn't learn something

from it (healthy or otherwise).

Good luck!
