We found music therapy after number of sessions helped - they have in Mencap/charity he goes to but not all the time
Starting at age 3 our child had 40 hours a week of Lovaas therapy aka ABA. It was great.
Does anyone have a good deodorant that their child uses? My daughter is 13, I’m trying to find one that won’t leave the yellow stains on shirts. Thank you
I recommend Megababe Daily Deodorant. It doesn't leave any residue and it's aluminum free.
Applied to the IHSS program since now im really in need for help but never thought i had to pay a fee so they could the paper work process.
I didn’t pay for anything. I only paid to get fingerprinted.
My 8 year old son was diagnosed with Aspergers when he was 5. Ewan has always been a little different (not in a bad way)! I thought he was just querky until about 2 1/2 and realized that we needed some help. He started the Preschool Program for Childen with Disabilities through our school district and learned so many skills. He hasn't needed any therapy other than his speech therapy he receives at school and attends class with all the other students. One thing that worries me is that the does… read more

Based on my research so far, it seems that we should not expect the same level of educational services from Chicago Public Schools as what we have now here in Boston. But I would love to know if any of you have had some positive experience with CPS concerning your child's special… read more
Hi Cate2, we no longer live in the area, but I heard some nice things about public schools in suburban cities north of Chicago. Good luck!

I’m asking because I have a long time friend, love her to death, but we were on the phone for a very long time when Aziel and his ASD became the next topic to talk about. She kept asking me, “what coping strategies do we have in place for when he can’t ‘stim’?” She kept on with using scenarios that do not apply to my kid. I was getting irritated but my deep breaths and trying to understand kept me from getting mad. However, she began stating that there will be a time where he won’t be able to… read more
I find the well-meaning incorrect advice and the judging of my parenting and the lack of understanding frustrating in my social circle as well. I just remind myself that they can't relate, because… read more
Does anyone know what level of service Kaiser California considers ABA? Would it be a standard copay or a specialist copay.
