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.
We are researching what autism therapy services and programming is like in the UK (in particular London).
What is the process for receiving ABA, speech and OT services in the UK, for example? Would that need to go through NHS? Are there options for private insurance (and are they even desirable)?

Does anyone know of any good schools for two kids that are low functioning? I've been dealing with Everett school district and finally found a decent one. But they will have to go to a different one in 6th grade. My spouse works in Sultan which is near Monroe. So Snohomish, Monroe would be ideal. But Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville wouldn't be out of the question. Any input would be appreciated.

My daughter (7 years old) already has an ASD diagnosis through our Regional Center. She received it years ago after already having received nearly two years of related services. She is what many would term "high-functioning" as she's mainstreamed at school with only pull out services for speech. This next school year she will also be pulled out for social behavior type classes.
I know anxiety can go hand-in-hand with ASD. More and more of her behaviors appear to me to be in response to… read more
