DD has severe SLI/ specific learning difficulties. Just been thinking aout this since the LAMP thread. And was trying to have five mins extra in bed but could hear DH not understanding DD when she was saying "bee bupbee" (me hungry)Sad . I often have to really try to work out what she's saying but know most stuff in context but at school it must be impossible.

We use a bit of signing as does school but not enough as she isn't as good as she used to be with it. Also her one to one TA was about to do a communication book which I think waspictures but the teacher thinks DD is too lively to use it and it isn't a fast enough form of communication. Had been told PECS isn't appropriate by a SALT too as she is talking just its hard to follow. She needs something that works wherever she is though and is fast.

I keep hearing about ABA, DD hasn't got an ASD diagnosis but perhaps it could still help? How would I get it would I have to go to a private ABA tutor?

Thanks pipinjo, I have just been on their website-DD may not be eligable due to not having ASD but I think I will give them a call. Saw the link to caudwell children too which again I have heard about locally-but it says you have to live in Stoke on Trent and I am in the South East-pretty sure I have heard of others locally being involved with them which is odd.
