Hello!
Iv been looking around for a few good early interventions for Mango and looking around to see what type of early intervention would be good for us. Home base or centre base?
I was reading about it and their pretty much the same thing just the home base program is more convenient rather than actually having to travel somewhere, they come to you. They provide all the therapists for both. I'm actually very confused.
I have experience with the home base program and I have no experience with the centres. Maybe what I am looking for is a play group? Well speaking of play group... I have found a wonderful play group!
They are called Lifestart. Its early intervention except the waiting list is forever long so for now the playgroup will have to do as a substitute. The first time we went there was fantastic! There were about 6 parents there all with the special needs children and 'normal' children. They had games for all ages. It started off with playtime, then we all sat in a circle and sang some songs and after that all the mums got to have a cup of coffee and discuss our week or what ever the case was. It was mostly what paediatrician is good? What ophthalmologist is good? Who is the best neurosurgeon? You get the drift... I walked out that afternoon feeling really great. As is all my hard work or trying to find a support group of mothers that catered not only for me but your my little boy too. I found them. I felt sad at the same time to realising - I'm a muslim mother and there aren't any muslim support groups out there that I know of. I'll be on the look out.
It was a nice change to meet mother of special needs children. It so different to knowing your not the only one out there and you are not alone but to actually see it with your own two eyes, it feels like whole new perspective. Bringing me back to my previous post of knowing something and actually knowing (feeling) something.
Please if there are any questions or comments. I would love to hear it. Good luck!
