My ds (2.4) started speech therapy today. The therapist (NHS) advised me he is only going to get six sessions!!! from her.
Is this other people's experience? My son doesnt have any words as such, just babbles still. He will be starting on the Hanen method but using teacch as well for object identification.
Any ideas on how I can get more speech therapy through NHS or do you have to fund this yourself?
Also, any ideas from anyone on the teacch method? I dont like it, a bit too environmentally structuring for my taste. Can anyone comment if it is a good place to start though??
I am so confused and frustrated with this. Something new every day on this asd roller coaster!
