Thanks for th comments guys and I've shown them to Keiran! Keiran is grinning from ear to ear! The Cheshire Cat has nothing on him right now It's great that he has found something positive he can do with his drawing talent apart from using up reams and reams of paper!

It is always amazing to discover what the children enjoy most. I can understand the hair dryer one though. We always worry when they go and do something when we are unprepared, but I'm certainly glad to hear it was a good experience! The question is will you go again?

So sorry for your loss hun! I hope El is able to heal soon. <'> >< <'>

Well a few weeks ago my 11 year old ASD lad discovered Flash and is now experimenting with dreamweaver. He has started his very own and very special website! All are welcome to pop over and see how it's growing. He has become interested in doing animations. <'> Visit my Son's Website <'>

<'> >< <'> I have just had the results of Rebecaa's WISC-IV assesment. It is quite long, but this is the bare basics of it. <'> >< <'> Her IQ came out at 69 = 2 out 100 children would score worse. But this is felt to be a reflection of her lack of concentration and poor processing speed. The above has a 95% confidence limit that if she were tested again she would score between 65 - 75 Verbal comprehension came out at 75 = 5 out of 100 children would score worse The above has a 95% confidence limit that if she were tested again she would score between 70 - 83 Perceptual reasoning came out at 88 = 21 out of 100 children would score worse The above has a 95% confidence limit that if she were tested again she would score between 81 - 97 Working memory came out at 71 = 3 out of 100 children would score worse The above has a 95% confidence limit that if she were tested again she would score between 66 -81 Processing speed came out at 59 = 0.3 out of 100 children would score worse The above has a 95% confidence limit that if she were tested again she would score between 55 - 73 I don't know where this will lead us but you may be able to give me some advice like ... What questions should I now be asking to get the best for her?

Lets hope you get the answer you need, so you can get the help that M needs.

:gather: Well here's an update! After I my last post I discovered that Childcare Tax Credit (CTC) increased with 15 year old Martyn's award, as did our Housing/council Tax Benefit (HB) in the form of Disabled Child Premium. I have now been awarded DLA for 11 year old Keiran - High rate care and low rate mobility. A second Disabled Child Premium(DCP) was added to the HB with Keiran's DLA award (plus there was an added amount to the second DCP), I don't know what the change will be with Tax Credits as I have only just told the DWP. But it will probably change the Housing Benefit again - can't wait to find out!! Ho hum the council just love their bits of paper - I got 12 sheets of A4 sent from Keiran's changes to our award, telling me what his DLA meant for three different time periods between Dec 06 and 2 April. The wierd thing is that when Martyn got his award the upgrade in CTC was automatic; but not so with Keiran's - can anyone work out these official peeps? I have had to appeal for 8 year old Rebecca's. Primary school messed it up, the person who filled in the form basically said that her only problem is that she is behind academically. I went to the C.A.B. who sent a Welfare Rights Advisor to see me at home, I have just got the letter he did for me and his recommendations through (16 pages long) - he has said he thinks Rebecca should be awarded High rate care and low rate mobility. Then I am told that I should put in a claim for carers allowance too - Yikes!
