I’m clutching at straws here I expect but I just don’t know what to do.
DS is 4, not yet diagnosed, waiting on assessment but current line of thought from various professionals involved is ASD/PDA/ADHD.
He’s on the SEN register and has a 1:1 all day at school, just putting together an EHCP application.
Im running out of options for after school and holiday care and just don’t know what to do!
we both work f/t and can’t afford to give up either salary as we wouldn’t be able to cover mortgage etc. not entitled to any state support at all (applying for DLA for DS but that’s far from a certainty).
no family to help with childcare. After school club and 2 holiday clubs have said he’s no longer able to attend as they can’t meet his needs or keep him and other kids safe. Desperately trying to find a suitable childminder but struggling with that. Once we do find one it’s going to be hard to cover the cost.
What on earth do people do after school and in the holidays with their high need children??!!
I feel so trapped as any option leads to us spiralling into debt.
