Prue Watson Occupational Therapist

My twins were mostly non-verbal, lacked eye contact, had difficulty following instructions, couldn't make friends, and had regular melt downs of which I had no clue how to help. They've both been diagnosed ASD, one with ADHD and the other with Dyspraxia on top, just to keep life interesting. With Prue's help they have overcome many obstacles, they now are receiving C's on their report cards. The best they'd ever had were E's, I can't tell you how proud I was to see the improvement. My children have introduced me to their friends at school, of which there are several. Teachers are happy with their academic progress and we're aiming for goals that two years ago I would never have imagined my children achieving.Prue's encouraged me to stop talking and listen more (which was very hard to do) but it worked. I stopped trying to 'fix' my children and instead listened to them. Melt downs retreated from nuclear holocaust mode to normal cranky kids mode. My non-verbals now talk the ear off me and I couldn't be happier. We've tried many methods of therapy together and each one has improved my children's abilities to share their world with me.A GP told me I'd never cure my children, there'd come a time where they would stop progressing and that would be the best I could get and I would have to accept it that my children weren't like others. Luckily I have Prue in my corner to show me that we could do better than that, we could achieve things that GP couldn't even begin to imagine. Every parent needs an advocate like her. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Prue.

I met Prue around 10 years ago, she was recommended by a pediatrician upon my child's diagnosis of Autism. Together with her guidance, support and the RDI program we embarked upon a journey to provide control, understanding and regain competancy in my son's day to day life. There were many light bulb moments. tears and smiles along the way and I am forever grateful for the day we met.I recommend Prue to everyone I meet that has a child on the spectrum.
