I live in BC and when Autism was identified in a child at my daughters care center, they helped arrange for special assistance in the classroom as a 'one on one' to help build the child's skills. I am not sure what your province offers, but I would do some research on assistance. I would also search for a care center that has worked with autism previously, a caregiver with training in autism, or a home care where the provider may have an autistic child of their own. Not a ton of help, I know. But from what I understand, the extra legwork may pay off with a great care provider able to empathize and maximize the skill potential of your child.
Currently....the autistic boy I know...went from screaming daily/constantly for months to socialization and now moving on to kindergarten! What did it take? A great caregiver who intervened, tried techniques and learned that he needs sensory and social control. Earphones and a higher seat made magic start to happen.
Thank you for your reply, I am still looking. I have created a plan for him to exercises at home, hopefully that will aid him.
If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
