Why not look for a paediatric neurologist. So that all other aspects can be managed and properly diagnosed? That's the best thing to do instead of cutting corners. |

Hi Doc, We would seriously appreciate if you CAN refer us to a pediatric neurologist instead of accusing serious minded,caring and loving mothers working their butts off day and night trying to recover their kids and ensure they live a better life of trying to cut corners.Pray tell me,how many doctors do you know in Nigeria and even outside of Nigeria who understand and can manage autism?I for one would be very willing to sell all i own and borrow more to ensure my son gets the best of treatment.Trust me, we have tried it all.The teaching hospitals.....private doctors....neurologists etc and most of them DO NOT HAVE A CLUE!The closest they can guess is referrals for CT scans and MRI that usually show nothing.Thereafter the usually confused doctor not wanting to seem unknowing and incompetent prescribes 'Ritalin'.By the way, one of the parents who have been in contact through this forum is a consultant pediatrician in a teaching hospital married to a gynecologist and for 6 years they have watched their son continue to regress without a clue as to how to help him. I do not want to mention names but i have met with several pediatric neurologist in different states in Nigeria.Many are acclaimed as authorities in their field but they have been unable to help.Oh,we don't even count the trips to UK,Dubai and South Africa......the many Skype,phone and email consultations with doctors in India, South Africa,USA and UK that some of us mothers have made.Many have been useful because doctors over there care to listen,research and understand that autism is a Spectrum development disability and as such requires a multidimensional approach to addressing its many and varied symptoms. Pray tell me again,in what areas are we trying to cut corners? Speech, behavior and or occupational therapy? Sensory integration therapy? special diets like GFCF/SF or SCD,trying to live green and organic? Providing support to worn and tired out mothers? Standing up for our children and breaking the silence on autism? Please do your research sir !Autism can be managed and many children lose their diagnosis because their parents chose to 'cut corners' and not rely on doctors sitting on their high horses with their noses in their medical books! I am a SUPERMOM.I am doing the best that i can for my son who by the way is losing his diagnosis each passing day because i chose to 'cut corners'. GOD BLESS YOU DOC and thank you for you very 'encouraging' comment. 8 Likes |

I am a certified speech pathologist in the US, who often comes to Nigeria. It was very interesting to read many of the comments. First, I'd like to offer words of encouragement to the parents who are seeking treatment for their children with autism. Secondly, my email address is FunkeSLP@gmail.com for those looking for referrals and assistance with speech therapy services. 1 Like |

daisyjo: Thanks Daisy for all your contributions, you are really a blessing to mothers like me, I just saw your thread from naira land, Am so encouraged by your son story and am presently in the same issue now and I don't know how to help him. My son will be 4 years old tomorrow, for now he knows all his 26 alphabets, and 1-20, he says just one words now and no sentences. He understands most instructions you give him and he is completely toilet trained. I do flash cards with him and I have started him on omega H3. Please what more advice can you give me on getting a speech therapist in PortHarcourt. I will love to join your BlackBerry group and any advice I can get on where to take him for investigation will be appreciated. |

Hi Osunde Omorodion, I am 'excited' to see your contact all over this thread. I believe the more credible, authentic and good quality services are available for our kids, the smoother our journey to recovery. It would be nice to know your training background as a speech and behaviour therapist , the name of your agency and location.i have checked through RBTs, BCaBAs and BCBAs at the behaviour analyst certification board and did not see your name on the credential list. Please forgive my inquisitive self. I am just a little bit concerned. 2 Likes |

daisyjo: @daisyjo i was trained by SNAP actually and i have worked with like 3 kids which i give glory to Almighty God for their improvement while i was with them,why cant you give me a call,tell me more about your child and lets see how we can help him. |
Re: Are There Any Speech Therapists In Portharcourt?-my Son Needs One. by daisyjo(f): 10:08pm On Jan 20, 2016 |
Thanks for your response. Nice to know you have attended some SNAP sessions. Having been in contact with SNAP in Durban as well as ASAP in Somerset West and recieved some trainings too, I recognize that its good starting point. There may however be a need to build on this a lot more... If you get what I mean. Speech and Behaviour therapy is a lot more that a couple of seminars and courses. You may want to contact the international center for Behaviour analysis (Ajah, lagos) if interested in more in depth training. My son is doing great now and fully mainstreamed. I currently have a team of 19 board certified therapists/ technicians with trainings in different holistic therapies to support him and the other kids under my agency. It takes a great heart to want to work with kids with different abilities and I commend you. 2 Likes |

Place is there any speech therapist in uyo in Akwa Ibom. My son of 3 years has issues on speech. Can't pronounce words correctly and he cries over anything. If he asks for something he asks with a cry. He withdraws in school from his classmates and is easily intimidated or bullied. |

.Peter, 08036532254 Early Care Intervention For Autism and Special Needs Children I don’t know about you but I know raising a special needs child can be tasking and energy sapping. I know that as a parent you desire your child to live an independent life to an extent. You want a situation where your child has a mind of its own. You desire your child to make an impact not only socially but also academically. These are just a few of your earnest desire. While the journey can be a real challenge you can make the journey simpler, and less energy sapping if you have an experienced tutor who understands how to analyze the emotional and intellectual capacity of your child. Armed with this skill, the tutor is fully capable of impacting your child. It is important you have an experienced tutor who: 1. Has Great Organizational Skills 2. Has the creativity to adapt lessons to suit the learning strength of your child be it visual, auditory or kinesthetic style. 3. Is highly intuitive and can instinctively understand what your child is trying to say even when they have a difficulty expressing themselves. 4. Has a calming nature in order to reduce the level of stress during tutoring. 5. Pays attention to details 6. Adapts to stressors such as outburst, meltdown and disruptions. 7. Knows how to control ones anger even when there is outburst and 8. Has a good sense of humour and empathy. These will help the child become the best version of themselves and will indeed make you proud. And that is what we do. We offer • Speech Therapy • Behavioural Therapy • Occupational Therapy • Cognitive Drilling and Dietary Intervention. Why dietary intervention? Dietary intervention is key for an autistic child since most children with ASD have weak gut offering the right diet is very helpful and have been proven to relieve some of the symptoms. Fees While our service is not damn cheap they are affordable to those who want to see an improvement in their communication and cognitive skills. We look forward to hearing you |
