My nephew was diagnosed with PDD when he was 10 years old. Now he's almost 14 and my sister has done little to seek additional help for him.
My concern is now he's about to enter hight school and I really don't think he's equiped for this socially or education wise. My mother and I have decided to intervene and try and get him some help.
Does anyone have any sugeestions on where we should start? We live in Houston, Tx but we don't have a clue on where to look.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!!!!!!!!!........
Hi CYMC Welcome to the board! I thinkits great you are trying to help your nephew! There are some links posted for school related issues (IEP's and advocating etc ) in this link http://www.autism-pdd.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=690& PN=2 and MANY other information pieces as well.
Here is a link to an accommodations page for specific disabilities that may help too Instructional Methods / Accomodations
ANother good place to try is www.unlockingautism.org they have a national call center listed as well as a parent 2 parent network to try to connect you to a parent in your area for resources.
Good Luck and I commend you for advocating for him!
Thanks for the info MsSteelersfan.................I love him dearly and I just want the best for him!You're Welcome...I hope you are able to get him the help he needs!
