Autism —- any fund to help with eye ?

[Villageelite]

i understand luckily nhs cover eye test and lenses .

but we found more profound issues related now to be investigated further . thousands so far including Zeiss Lenses frames etc etc
I paid privately for eye hospital .

nhs put us to be seen by neurologist and otolaryngologist .

seems there is no particular fund for autistic kid visual / audio issues ?
Audiologist told me any treatment is not on nhs .

unlike OT Phsyio SALT with luck u can get in NHS .

Unless DC has an EHCP and it is something that can be included in there, then I’m not aware of any funding source outside of what is available on the NHS. The NHS does have services for things like VPD and APD if they are required.

Omg u nailed it !!!! Thanks so so much .
i was everywhere searching neurology and inner ear bone and finally got to (Binocular Visual
Dysfunction, BVD)

yes VPD is the one
APD is already diagnosed if u mean A as audio .

We have everything :

blue badge
DLA ( higher personal care )( lower get around )
ehcp
access
CEA.
apart from a council house .
anything Else we missed ?

With audio unluckily for APD unless u r deaf . No nhs theraphy for u . All pay privately.

next week we paid privately for 3 hours neuro visual tests .

as DC keeps bumping everywhere inside swim pool / ice rink / dance room .end up X-ray in a&e all the time .
and Optocian saying it’ gotta be something else more profound underline.

DC is like a bat now lost echo .

With audio unluckily for APD unless u r deaf . No nhs theraphy for u . All pay privately.

This is not true. For a start, if DS has an EHCP, therapies should be in F.

No theraphy at all . for audio disorder
apart from can be number 1 in queue .
25% listening exam . That’s it .
could offer some ear phone . That’s it maximum . Nothing else . Unless self paying some £200 app for audio training .
nothing nhs can offer to you for this audio disorder .

we don’t have free meal queue pass . Still have to queue also .

As I posted, that isn’t true. Provision, including therapies, equipment and technology, can be included in EHCPs. Parents may have to appeal in order to get it in F.

If you mean DS has to queue at school for lunch, if he can’t queue because of his disability the school must make reasonable adjustments. Adjustments for lunch provision can also be in F of the EHCP. If, however, it isn’t about DS being unable to queue for lunch and is instead a dig at those who receive FSM then you should take a long hard look at yourself.

U r making a fool of yourself
it’s hilarious u pretend u know what u r talking about.

I know exactly what I am talking about. You on the other hand clearly don’t.

That is incorrect. Education provision should be in section F. What’s being described here isn’t education provision.

Healthcare provision should be in section G.

No it is not incorrect. OP mentioned therapies. Therapies that ‘educate or train’ belong in F. Section 21(5) of the Children and Families Act states HCP that educates or trains is actually deemed to be SEP. Case law supports this. If you want to trade IPSEA links see here.

And the page you linked to if you click the link to take you to the EHC Plan checklist it also states therapies that educate or train the child/young person belong in F.

Ah thank u so much !!!!
G
I will mention it in the appeal . If I get a visual disorder diagnose on time .

Doesn’t matter who is right or wrong .
i appreciate whole heartedly for your opinions and contributions .

Isn’t this nice to just bounce off ideas and brain storm together ?

Correct information matters, especially if parents are appealing to SENDIST. Sadly, DC whose parents know the law and can advocate for them get better support. It shouldn’t be like that, but it will not change in the foreseeable future. Therapies that educate or train belong in F. Having SEP in F is always preferable to it being HCP in G because F is far more enforceable than G.
