I have posted before re sons challenging behaviour and suspicion of having PDA.
Have started CAMHS process but after visiting him at school (a good day according to teacher) and observing him for half an hour she had decided against further assessment. He behaved perfectly at the children's centre where she observed him, to the point where he was compliant and engaging in a way that I have never been able to get him to do in FOUR AND A HALF YEARS. am so frustrated as i know there is something not right with my boy and it is not a parenting issue ffs!!
How can I get this sorted properly? I have spoken to Elizabeth newson centre but I can't afford the £3000 to go private, also because husband in denial and won't support. It's been a milestone to get him to realise his behaviour is extreme- only taken me 2+ years to get him to agree to see a psychologist.
Can anybody recommend a PDA specialist in London who we could see?
Why is this disorder not recognised by the diagnostic manual?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
