Hi all! Through another board I frequent I've heard about Direct Payments from the social services - where they give you money with which to pay someone to help your disabled child.
I know that some people use this to pay their ABA tutors, which is what I am hoping to do (as the ABA is unfunded and costing us 2k/month so any help would be much appreciated!)
Anyway, I have just phoned social services and spoke to a social worker. She is going to arrange an assessment of DS1 but she said "to be honest with you, I've never heard of a 2.5yr old getting direct payment. They're usually for older kids."
I was wondering if any of you had experience of this or know anyone who had had any help for younger kids. Thanks
