Occupational therapy, wait for 3 months. You have got your dates, if you miss, it is your own loss. No make-up. Reappointment is possible if the child is sick.
Psychological assessment, wait for 4 months.
Speech therapy, wait for 5 months.
Shorten the wait is possible, if the financial backing is strong enough - consult private therapists...
So for every trip, I always make a point to ask for things that we can do at home. Time spent at home is on all these 'games' that will help him. I bought games that can teach him to wait for his turn, teach him to pay attention and memorise the coloured pins. There are also days to train him in paying attention to others talking. Then also have to teach him imaginative play (yes, teach, cos he can't). Also getting him to join dots and tracing to train on his fine motor skills. All these, within that 2 h window period after coming back from school and before going to bed.
While some parents are busy doing curriculum stuff, we have to redirect to basic neccessities 1st.
These takes a lot of energy...
Pictures of the 3 kids playing Hi-Ho-Cheery-O with their dad. This game teaches taking turns and basic counting. Notice Gerry in the background, who was left out in the game.
