ATSS DECISION
Hi everyone
well that time is coming nearer and nearer for Jake to leave school and go to an
Adult Training Service.

I was hoping others in the same boat before us could give some advise on the important things we should be considering for our son.

Jake is 17 nearly 18

Autism (moderate to profound)
ADHD
Epilepsy

He has echolia speak, can ask for things he requires, if not he can lead you to them and you will understand what he requires.

Cost of doing little

THE person most qualified to help Ms Simonovska's autistic son (The Age, 22/8) learn to communicate is a speech pathologist. Having just qualified at the only university in the state that offers this course, I am less than optimistic about his chances of getting the help he needs and deserves. Funding the therapy is great: finding the therapist can be tricky.

LILJANA Simonovska wants nothing more than to hear her son Filip speak. In recent years, her five-year-old boy has blurted out odd words here and there, but none of them have ever really made sense.

Speech therapy for all disabled kids

JULIA Medew (The Age, 22/8) highlighted the need for speech therapy for children with autism. But speech therapy is an issue for all children with disabilities and their families. Children with autism actually have access to more than twice the funding for therapy than those with other disabilities.

Aspies and homework

My year 9, 14 year old son works reasonably well at school but when it comes to homework and assignments well forget it. The let down or cooling off that happens when he gets home simply does not allow him to get back into learning mode. He doesn't know how to start, gets upset when he gets stuck in Math, spends way too long on something that only needs a few minutes and mental blocks almost always end up in tears for all us. He works well with his tutors, English and Math but thats only 2 hours a week. He is now expected to do 1-1 1/2 hours per day.
