My sweet 4 year old has some delays with social skills and speech development.

Anyone with experience accessing ministry-funded therapies for their child on the spectrum? I suspect that's what it would fall under.

Therapies in the Auckland area in particular would be helpful.

So far, all I've been able to find online is that children are eligible for 1 hour per week with a speech therapist and I've heard from a friend that her 4 year old got a group session once per week with a speech therapist.

Surely there's gotta be more available than that? Please help.
