One of the hardest days in any parent’s life is when your child is diagnosed with a long term disease or disability. There are a flood of questions and concern about how to provide long term care for your child. If you’ve recently been told your child has autism and are wondering how to find the best home care then consider these points to help you plan. According to the Help Guide Organization, you need to work with your doctor and his team to determine your child’s strengths, weaknesses and the best treatment approach for them. They list several things to do, when developing your child’s treatment plan that will aid you and your home health care nurse.
- Develop a plan that focuses on their interests
- Make sure it’s a predictable schedule
- Keep tasks simple
- Plan to have structured activities that engage their attention
- Give positive reinforcement for their behavior that incorporates you and the nurse
Your home health care nurse is highly trained and can help you fine tune your treatment plan. If you have questions regarding autism and support, talk with your nurse or doctor.
