Childrens mental retardation and immigration
 

Hi guys,
i cant find any info in russian forums about my question, so i tying to asking in UK forum :)
My younger son have mental retardation (brain damage when he was born)
He is 7 yearl old, cant speaking, need special adaptive school, logopedic lessons and so on. Also he need some special neuroleptical medicine (Neuleptil)

I can move to Australia with 190 visa but i thinking my son dont pass the medicine officer.
Someone have some expirience with problem like mine? Any ideas? Chances?

You need to talk to one of the agents who specialise in medical conditions - George Lombard or Peter Bollard are the two usually mentioned in this regard.

But based on what you have written I would say that your son is going to fall the medical - and that means your whole family will fail. Special Education costs the Australian tax payer a lot of money and it doesn't take much to be over the threshold when Special Ed is involved. Talk to the agent though but I think you have to be realistic and expect that your chances are going to be zero.
