Your son may not know but there is assistance available through the NDIS for children under 7 under the Early Childhood Intervention Program. My two grandsons live with me along with their father. The youngest has experienced Behavioural Issues following the breakup of his parents marriage. He has been assessed as having developmental delays and certainly had anger issues when he first arrived at our home. The NDIS can provide 12 to 18 months of financial assistance and should be able to steer you in the right direction to find providers of services such as Psychologists, Occupational Therapists and even Play Therapists which my elder grandson is participating in and making huge strides. One of most important steps that needs to be done is seeing a GP to get a referral to a Paediatrician to get a possible formal diagnosis. Waiting lists for Paediatricians can be up to a year. I think it is wonderful you are a loving, caring Grandmother and want the best for your Grandson. It took me a whole year to realise that as hard as it may seem to prioritise your health you have to because you can't help the people you love if you don't take care of yourself. Please contact me if you think I can be of help....in anyway.
