Following on from the really useful thread about speech and language delay being treated differently in ASD kids, I wondered if we ought to find a different SALT. We are getting useless NHS provision (shove them all in groups and get them to "take turns" - gets the numbers down don't you know).
We had been using a private SALT earlier in the year who is great but does not have a lot of experience with ASD kids. DS1 was however learning stuff with her. We need to revisit it because I am not wasting DS1's and my time in the useless groups next term and if we don't get what I want in the statement we will go privately.
Is there a big different in a SALT trained in ASD communication vs a SALT who isn't??? What should I be looking for?
If anyone has a recommendation of someone in the NW London area (middlesex/herts/bucks) I would be very grateful. We may also need to get a report done for DS1 if we decide to appeal the statement now. I've been to see ICAN today but they won't assess him until he's 4 (not until March) and that may be too late.
