Feeling lost in wilderness...

Hi,

I've been told my DS2 has special needs, but we have not received a definite diagnosis, and tests are still ongoing.

He is going to need a lot of intensive therapies over I guess the next several years (based on the ped's assessment), but I don't know where to start in terms of finding out the best ways I can help him.

At the moment he is going to physio once or twice a week, and we try to do it every day at home, but I need some resources / contacts with ideas on how I can "teach" him basic skills. Also I need to contact other people out there who've been told there is basically no hope for their child, but have felt the dx is at least premature, and they have gone on to prove the drs wrong.

Obviously it is harder not knowing exactly what is wrong with DS2 (ped says he has a "syndrome without a name").

Thx

What sort of problems does he have and how old is he? I'm sure there'll be someone on here who has been through something similar.

Guess am after resources on what child needs to know and how to teach them how to do it (I am thinking basic skills like reaching if something is out of range, etc)

Thx

Oh sorry mmwwbys - i missed that thread. It sounds like you got some good advice on there. I know very little about GDD myself but can sypmathise with you about how overwhelming it is to have a child with SN - especially with no dx. So sorry you are going through this
