Assisted Nurseries

Michmac

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice please? My boy has been diagnosed with Autism at 2years 7months and he has been attending mainstream nursery for 2 days a week for over a year. I don't feel the staff have time to work with him due the nursery being so busy and the staff not trained in working with autistic kids. I'm desperate to get him into an assisted place at a local nursery (stay in Scotland) and this is proving difficult as his case needs to go in front of a panel and they decide if he gets a place. I know early intervention is the key to helping my boy speak but feel we are out of our depth and need him to get more specialised help. We have been given a Home Visiting Teacher and a Speech and Language Therapist for one hour a week. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Sorry to hear of your dillema of getting your son into an assisted Nursery class. Must be a real worry for you.  I'm no expert in this field but you could try your doctor to give a supporting letter to help the panel reach the right decision. The more info they have the better so plenty of support is very important. You could ask your local MP to support you aswell.  Probarly the panel who decide on whether a child gets supportive help is the normal routine of how things are done. This is frustrating for you as the parent but just go with the flow.  I'm hoping someone else can advise you whos been in a similar situation. But dont give up Cool
