and I need to know how to spend it to the best advantage.I am hoping you can help as I am not sure what sort of thing is available to ds who is 7 and has as.He already has funding for a saturday club once a month to give ds2 and us some respite and I am hoping to get FISS which is the supernanny type thing to come into the home for 12 wks to help deal with issurs there.Please could you tell me the sort of respite,help etc that you get for your dc.Want to spend the money wisely and get the best for ds.Thank you

What does FISS stand for and what do they do?

Well done on the funding - makes a change to hear such news! How about spending some of it on holiday clubs, especially the 6wk summer period?

Thank you.Yes I was thinking of some after school clubs and some holiday help as the summer hols are looming!! The main probs we have with ds1 are his aggression and bullying to all of us but esp ds2 who is nearly 5.He has excellent ability to focus on things and we really want to channel his energies into things he loves such as bike riding,rock climbing and computers.I was wondering about social skills groups maybe.
FISS is a sevice that i think stands for family integrated support service and they send someone to your home for a minimum of 4 hrs a week to help you with issues you have in the home which for us would be fab as that is where the probs are.A bit like supernanny!!
