A and A Report post Posted October 22, 2011 Hi just about ready to apply for mobility component for our 5 yr old son who has asd with severe developmental delay and he is mentally impaired with behavioural problems he also wears pedro boots to aid ankle stability as he is hypermobile in all four limbs and has low postural tone in both legs and has physiotherapy exercises done daily at school under the request of his physiotherapist, Liam also has a blue badge for parking the car and he can only walk very short distances and then gets tired and has to be pushed in a buggy which we have a appointment next month to get him a major elite buggy through the local authority and Liam gets top rate care component has any else been successful in getting top rate mobility. Many Thanks A and A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb1964 Report post Posted October 25, 2011 Hi A&A, I don't think that just an ASD diagnosis normally get high rate mobility - it's dependent on the individuals mobility needs which looks like your son is quite high. Take care, Jb x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonathon Report post Posted May 24, 2012 my son who only recently has got a formal diagnosis of asd has been receiving high rate care and low rate mobility since he was five but we have just had a renewal letter (only took 2 weeks) but he now gets high rate mobility due to his behaviour on public transport . He will only sit on a certain seat on the bus and if its occupied he has a major episode Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
