and autism. He has seen a well known DAN and we still are not getting that far.

We have been doing DAN for over 5 yrs .I am looking into NACD. I have done ABA

and VB and RDI and still doing RDI. My son has been in speech since he was 3 yrs

old . What are others doing and getting progress? I am going broke . We have

spent so much money . Really for the money we should of had more progress than

what we have now. Any advice?

Hi, Kathy. I am so sorry you are spending so much, and not seeing much progress.

We live in Columbus, and homeschool our 10 year old with low vision and apraxia,

as well as other special needs. I've found communicating partners,

communicating, to be a huge help. It

encourages and trains parents to do the therapy, at no cost. You can contact me

offlist through my blog, at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/eaglesnest, if

you'd like to ask me anything about homeschooling or Columbus.

Oops--the Group name is Communicating Partners--link didn't come out right.

Here's Dr. Jim's web site,

hope this helps.
