OT and speech to start. We are working hard with my daughter with her aac device at school and at home. We tried pecs at that younger age, tried sign language both was to difficult for Ashley and… read more
His school provides bare minimum with therapy. Our kids (only) were once on Medicaid and it seemed to provide pretty decent therapy throughout the week, however, with a pay bump at my job, and my wife now going back to work, we are just over the threshold for Medicaid. Private therapy is something that I know is worth it but again cannot simply afford it. Meanwhile our son has gone on 25min tangents in his classroom to the point where the teachers are growing intolerant. What are options for us… read more
I was surprised but my employer’s medical insurance covered speech and OT therapy (after the deductible, and with a copay).
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.
My daughter was born 28 weeks prem. She was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD in November 2023. She’s 5 years old and does present with poor executive functioning skills and has been doing OT for the past 2 years but now we need to start Speech Therapy to assist with her expressive language. Any advice on what sort of speech therapist with specific skills that they have done would help so much! Does DIR floor time and Ayes Sensory Integration assist in helping a kiddie with ASD. Thanks so much 😊
Was your child a micro preemie? Did they have anything like a Grade III brain bleed? The downside is you generally get stuck with whatever OT they have or s, l, p, but what you can try and do is stack… read more
What are thoughts on occupational therapy? Does it have an effect on behaviour? He is already extremely agile. I’m not really entirely sure what OT truly is and how it can help, but I hear amazing things.
@A MyAutismTeam Member thank you! That’s great
I'm interested in finding anything that can help my son further in development and finding his special talents and gifts!!!

Has anyone worked with/heard of Dr. Goldberg? He is a doctor out in Cali who works with kids with autism and claims autism isnt real but in fact these children are being misdiagnosed and have a virus of the brain. My niece goes to him once a year, takes her blood and does a full CBC to see any elevations in her blood work, he put her on Celexa and Valtrex and my niece has gained so much weight!!! Apparently with her being skinny a yr ago she was apparently "sick" and now she is considered at a… read more
How is your niece doing now? We are considering seeing this dr. Thnx
My 2 yr old girl is diagnosed with autism.She regressed at 18months of age. Her development pediatration recommended to go for early intensive ABA therapy for 30 hrs a week. When I asked her about Speech and OT .She said OT is not required for this kid and speech will come with ABA. She is non verbal but babbles a lot with some meaningless words.Will they really start speaking with ABA therapy?
I was thinking ABA is only for behaviour!!
My child was also recommended 30 hours of ABA a week when she was diagnosed just before her 2nd birthday. The brain is more pliable when young. Yes, it is intense to go into that many hours of therapy… read more
I'm new to all this Speech Therapy, OT etc and I'm not quite sure of what is the role and what is OT suppose to do. Is it only sensory or also helping with the child being able to do day to day task. Are their any other types if therapy besides Speech and OT???
