Hi my ds has recently been diagnosed with asd and sld. He has just started nursery in special school for children with sld. I'm feeling quite sad as most of the other children in his class can communicate a little through limited speech, makaton or pecs. At the min the only thing he will do is lead me by the hand to the fridge for milk which he loves. He has significant sensory processing difficulties also and his teacher was telling me today that he had been taken to the quiet room for some tacpac therapy. The salt has said she is going to start intense communication with him. Does anyone have experience of these therapies? We're so thankful for what the school are going to do to help our ds but it's also just beginning to hit home that our son's disability is very serious and he will probably never be able to live an independent life. I'm still grieving - this time last year our journey was only beginning. There is lots of information online for asd but not for sld. Can anyone relate to this or share a positive story.
