Just found out that claims are now capped at 4K per year.
I went on a course a few weeks ago that cost around 2k and the recommendation from that was for a 12 month course of theraplay for DS (quoted at 10k). I don't have the money to self fund the course was amazing but if I'd known about the cap I would have left it and used the money for his therapy (the post AO support had mentioned theraplay before my course but suggested I did the course first), SW only called me yesterday to tell me about it.
Working with SS to try and get some funding from elsewhere but I can't believe such a small cap considering the cost of most therapy. DS wouldnt be considered 'high need' so god knows how families and children needing extensive support will cope.
Does anyone do their own theraplay? Could you point me in the right direction of books/videos as I want to do what I can at home as it may be a few months before we get to see anyone!
Thanks
