Noah’s private diagnosis
Donation protected
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read our story so far!
So, where do I start? Noah has been showing traits of autism for a while now, concerns were raised at his 12 month check. From there we were put on a waiting list with the NHS.
A year as gone passed and he’s still currently waiting. He’s also been referred to speech and language, the paediatrician, and many more. Noah has received a few speech and language appointments for them to say everything is to be done at home.
Myself has made numerous calls to various professionals, checking his position on the waiting list 5 days a week, and we continue to be told the same things over and over.
On the positive side Noah qualified for 10 hours 1-1 support at his nursery! I cannot put into words how much he progressed with this.
Sadly, this funding ended on the 31st of March. I myself, work part time which he will still be attending the nursery but without the 1-1 support. I am hoping to raise £2500 to help myself and Noah access private services in order for Noah to get a diagnosis and the support he needs.
Noah is due to start school in September I am hoping I can have something in place by then.
If we wait for the NHS, Noah could miss many opportunities when he starts school and most importantly the support he will need. The money raised will also help source private Speech & Language, and 1-1 in is new school in September and many more professionals that can help Noah.
I can’t begin to feel embarrassed asking for this support. But this is not just about Noah’s fundraiser journey, Noah could be 5/6 getting this assessment from the NHS.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and we will be very grateful for any help given to support Noah! If you've met Noah, you will know he's nothing but a happy little boy and so loving to everyone and everything!
He’s the most kindest little soul I have ever met! Here's to the next few months of hard work! Any little help will be very appreciated.
thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!
