Therapist recommendations in Cambridge for ASD preschooler

My DS(4.0) has been recently diagnosed with ASD and I’d be grateful if anyone could give me recommendations for private therapists in the Cambridge area for:

  • Speech and language therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • ABA (I’ve only just started looking into this)
  • Anything else you’ve found helpful


Thanks.

have a look at www.cambridgeautism.com/Welcome.html - its not a therapist website but the blog of a family of a little boy in cambridge with autism who did very well with aba.

I live in London and use The Owl Centre who operate nationally and have provided excellent therapists for my son. We are considering moving to Cambridge for work so I will watch this with interest. Our child is 3.5 years old. I am very concerned about the lack of provision in Cambridge primary schools- what do you think OP? Is your child verbal? Call The Owl Centre- they have people in. Cambridge. Feel free to PM me.

If you can't find somebody locally you could also try Beam ABA - they are based in London but have a distance service. I have found them not to bear out my fears of ABA (i.e. they are very into providing chances to learn in a natural environment and/or with other children wherever possible, so it doesn't interfere in my DDs life or stop her doing the things she enjoys).
