just been told by social services employee...... you need to wait until full diagnosis is complete before any grants will be given. (she did add, citizens advice may know of loopholes to help you in a round about way!)

ROUTINE!! Also healthy eating, loads of exersise and regular sports training _ Martial arts and rugby work well. Its the only way forward and if you are good, it can avoid the need for ritalin (speed for kids!

Schools are being sorted - he has been in a special nursery unit since April Last year  - at the moment he is being statemented by the local authority..and he is being pushed for a place at a local specialist school (he starts 'big' school in september)  total of 6 children and 14 staff, so its one of the best for his condition(s)..the child psycologist has also reccomended this unit, so its a good posibility that he will get in there..

Discowoman   I`ve worked with children who have special needs for quiet a few years now. Once your son is placed in the correct school,he will get all the support and help he needs. The school I work at is a local school with a couple of special units attached to it. So all the children get to play together  :)  I know it seems at times that your banging your head on a brick wall but keep pushing to get the best for your son. Good luck, hope things work out well for your family  :clap:

There's also bound to be parent support groups in your area for these conditions, which will be a source of information, as well as experience.

Your Social Worker or Child Psychologist should be able to give you contacts.
