[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Yes we have an IEP.

Yes I have looked for one on one support. Most programs will not allow us to send in our own therapist/respite worker/aide/nanny/etc. I have asked and they all say no.

Most of the activities we have tried actually have had one on one support (for all kids, not just mine) and it is something I look for when choosing activities. But in the recent few examples, the support is provided by volunteers that seem timid and not terribly skilled. Like they are expecting to be working with kids who have physical disabilities more than the challenges my DS has.

We have done swim, he got kicked out of that too. But we do have a pool at home and DS is an excellent swimmer (we taught him ourselves). We also have an in ground trampoline. He gets a lot of physical activity.

I think part of my exasperation is wanting him to be in something that DOESNT require my participation because I am exhausted. We are going into debt to keep the nanny. Like literally using credit cards because we can’t get DS into a camp. [/quote]

Where are you that so many activities have 1:1 support for all kids? Are these special needs camps? Never heard of NT activities offering this much support.
Some of your story doesn't add up. You have a pool at your home but you can't afford a nanny? You can afford tons of activities and camps that your child gets kicked out of but you can't afford the nany?[/quote]
