It came from Autism Spectrum Disorder, through their Eyes
It made me think.
Next to me on the couch is a boy 3 months shy of 5. For the last 2 years he has endured at minimum THREE hours or therapy 5 times a week and at most SIX.
At TWO and a HALF he began 2x 90min a day of ABA therapy. Two times during the week you could also throw in a 45 minute session of Speech therapy.
While other kids his age were at play groups and at the park, my baby was in a chair or on the floor with a skilled therapist teaching him how to play, how to listen, how to talk.
Days were long, we were isolated. In the beginning he would scream the whole time, other times he would throw things, try to flip a table. This was his life, this was his normal.
At 3 I placed him on a bus.....I placed him on a bus to a school where the school day was 6 hours and the commute was 20 minutes each way. He gets, OT, PT, Speech, Group Play Therapy and Individual Therapy.
Cluas Experts say that detection and cure at early stage is always beneficial. Children recover from language difficulty faster than adults, although speech therapy is beneficial for adults too.
