How can I help my daughter? Please help.

Daisy

Hi

My daughter is 8 in yr3 of main stream school with a diagnosis of 'mild autism'. Her school does not recognise that she has any difficulties and have not even given her an IEP. I desparately want to help her tackle her social difficulties. She finds it very difficult to communicate with her peers. She feels very uncomfortable and struggles to talk or make eye contact with any of them. I know she needs some help but I don't know what to do.

  • Has your daughter ever had a speech and language therapist? My son was refered to them first and she seems to push everything along. The speech therapist put into place group sessions where he was learning about social interactions through play. 

    Also has the educational psychologist been involved at school, they work independently from the school, but try to help the school make the best provision for the child. It took six months to see her but it was worth it. 

    Hope that helps
