Phsycologist Appointment

So today we met with the Phsycologist, and he said that he would be comfortable with diagnosing Ashlynn with Autism. He said that he was contracted through Dysart Early Intervention that they do not allow him to diagnos them until they are in kidergarten. So he gave me some information so that I can get her some outside help as well as early intervention preschool. So she will get a diagnosis, and they will have her go to preschool about 3 days a week, and then she gets another person that comes in 20 hours a week to work with her one on one. So she is going to be worked with LOTS. The person that comes 20 hours a week they really refer to them as free babysitters. They say that because parents are so busy they do not have 20 hours a week to entirley devote to one child. So they have people come in that will help Ashlynn with everyday life skills. So she will start preschool in the next two months, and then we go through another screening for the one on one care. Boy between school, and getting Ashlynn all the help she needs I am going to be really busy.
