Please help!
My son is 20 months not talking or interacting after many visits to the Gp I have finally been referred to have his hearing checked, Salt assessment and an assessment for autism however I called the centre today and was informed there is a 10-12 month waiting period for the assessment!
So I'm soooo confused as to what to do, I have contacted Peach who informed me that I could start ABA therapy with my son a few months before the assessment to find out if the therapy aids him in any way and if it does it would be evidence that could be submitted once the assessment is completed and a care plan is put together.
I'm not sure if I should start the therapy before the assessment , as I am aware the local authority does not like to fund ABA therapy and may say well let's explore other options first , I was advised to keep film recordings of my son from now onwards and after the 3 months therapy to highlight progress.
Please help I am just reading so many things on line , I don't know what would be the best move.
I am in tower hamlets london does anyone know if they are good when it comes to Aba funding or backing or has anyone received funding for aba in towerhamlets.
