  Zoe T. asked:

  Looking for a practitioner who can do a communication & support needs assessment for a young man with very severe autism and very high anxiety (who has been given a diagnosis of LD but we think the problem is not impaired cognition but severe communication difficulties). Ideally it would be someone familiar with Gentle Teaching and/or developmental psychology and definitely not anyone with a behaviourist perspective or anything to do with 'positive behaviour support'. The young man is minimally verbal but has not had continuity of communication strategies in the past and consequently now gets very frustrated and anxious when he is not understood, with consequent eruptions in distressed behaviour. He is in Tameside but I am not worried about where the specialist is as we can include funding to ship 'em up here if necessary (have to get the funding....but that's another story)

  I came across them when I was looking for someone to work with my son on Intensive Interaction - not used them yet as waiting for son to move out of care home into supported living, not cheap!
