Hi, does anyone know if such things exist?
I found this place in Ireland, but wondered if there was anything like it in England?
spectrum centre

I am getting increasingly worried about DS1 who is becoming very unhappy, and I want him to get some kind of treatment before this gets worse. CAHMS refuse to help, the paediatrician says she can't recommend anyone....
I think he would benefit from some kind of therapy, maybe CBT? or similar, plus some work on boosting his self-esteem and confidence, but I don't know where to even begin looking.
I was reading a piece earlier that said each child should be assessed to ascertain their individual strengths and weaknesses and then any therapy should be based on that- but where do I find someone to assess him????

if anyone can give me any pointers I would be eternally grateful, we're all so unhappy right now :(

Sorry about spelling errors, DS is pulling me off my chair as he is fed up with me being at the computer...

yes, our paediatricians prescribe medications. we've only ever been offered melatonin though for sleep issues
