Having problems with message search?
Hi Jessica
My name is Grazia De Rocco and I have two
children a girl 3 yrs and half with autism a boy 5 with autism too (start
with speech delay then PDD now from April Autism)
I wonder if your son can communicate with
you and how, does he speak? Does he has difficulty to transition? With Matteo
when he was about two and he wasn’t no verbal at all we start
You should also look at the services that
your school will give to you. Is it a full day or only half day? Do you have
the result form the evaluation? It is better haave this reports and read all the
way trough because right before school start or just at the beginning you
should met all the future teachers and therapists for your son at a meeting
call IEP where it will determinate the service that he needs – like how
many minutes of speech therapy and which are the goals and so on…
I suggest that you contact The Autism
Project in
Summer is very difficult and is VERY long
for family with autistic kids but when he will start to go to school he can
apply for summer school (generally 4 weeks) so you can cover June then you can
look for different activity offer for summer camp, in CU there is CU Special
Recreation that offer summer camp to special needs kids and they are doing a
good job.
Further then that you can look for play
date with other kids but for a working mom I agree is very difficult, I’m
lucky because working with University I have the summer off and more time to
spend with them.
I hope I could help some and…..
I don’t know if Paxon has this
program or can benefit from but we have Respite program offer from the
Development Services center they pay for a baby sitter so mom can have some
time off you can contact Jennifer Carlson – Respite Coordinator – jcarlson@...
Even if they don’t serve Paxon maybe
she can help
Good luck
Grazia

Hi Ann,
No I haven't really found any other families to talk with- I would
love it because I have tons of questions about what other people have
tried to do for their kids. Please do pass my email along I welcome
all the resources I can find. My son is 3yrs old and has PDD-NOS.
Our biggest issues is finding something to lessen or help control the
meltdowns and adjust to new diets. I've taken a leave of abscence
from my job until he is settled in the early childhood program at
Clara Peterson school, however that doesn't begin until school is
back in session. I don't understand the program that he will be in,
it hasn't been explained in deepth it was a quick Evaluation and lots
of questions for me and at the time I didn't know what things to ask.
I'm pretty much Riley's care taker 24/7, my husband and Riley are
getting closer but Riley is very dependant upon me. I've been home
with him a little over a month. We have 2 other boys- one is 11yrs
old and the other is turning 2yrs old soon. We are a family on the go
alot and that doesn't help Riley because his routine gets changed
often. My husband's family lives near but work 40 hours a weeke since
I 've stopped working my longest break from Riley has been 2 hours
while grocery shopping. My nerves are very raw at this point, since
Riley is no longer in a daycare program he doesn't get much social
time with kids other than his brothers I have concerns there about
how he will do in the Early childhood program.
I thank you for letting me vent some of my concerns and issues, I'm
really hopeful the CU Network can provide some more insight on how I
can help Riley have more good days than bad.
THanks again!
