I recently received a call from DDA services wanting to set up and Individual and family service plan (IFSP) for my son. Has anyone ever had this and does anyone know what this would entail? Or how I should prepare?
Thanks Jennifer :)
I've been trying to get my son's speech therapy started for months now. They just keep reevaluating him and saying he just not ready yet. He is 3 and needs it bad. His ABA supervisor thinks he is ready. I just don't know what to do we've done everything they asked us to. Wondering if this is just what Kaiser does and their no hope of them starting it. Thanks in advance
For those who do not make a lot of money, there is the medicaid buy-in which can serve as a secondary insurance. Unfortunately I make more than the income cap. Too poor to be rich and too rich to be… read more
With the recent measeles outbreak, the vaccination debate has started once again. It doesn't seem like much of a debate, however since the right not to vaccinate doesn't seem to be saying anything. Why is there no one speaking out? The only one that has spoken out on parental rights was Rand Paul.
Here's my take on the vaccination debate, as of this moment. Like every single medication or other man-made substance out there, MOST children can get their vaccines & have no major issues, but some… read more

How can you tell which symptoms are which? Do I request a second diagnosis? Why?
My 6 yr old grandson has started having temper tantrums every time he is told, No, that he can't have what he wants. He is nonverbal and actually gets so angry that he tries to squeeze your arm or whatever part of your body is accessable and on occasion has even bitten. All this going on, while yelling at the top of his lungs. Telling him to go sit in his chair, does nothing but make him angrier and if you try to take him to sit down, he just stiffens his whole body and stays in the spot or… read more

Any recommendations for sports involvement for a 4 year old with ASD? My son loves to be active and play outside, and he seems to have some natural ability in his coordination. I would love to give him an opportunity to try a team sport. I'm not sure he's ready yet, but are there any specific sports that have worked well for your child with ASD?
Addition. ATA had leaderships programs that help them in their social interaction which applies in our everyday life.
Our son has a very limited diet that consists mostly of junk food. We're looking for a feeding specialist who can help him increase his food choices.
