DS2 goes to a sn pre-school group one of the mums there I have known for several years, before we both had children.
She has one child who has GDD & other problems he is four & non verbal.
The thing is she doesn't seem to follow any of the advice from the professionals, openly admits she doesn't bother with SALT exercises, refused the opportunity to do a Makaton course although she admits it has helped him since playschool have been using it with him & he tries to sign to her.
He only ever wears his Piedro boots on visits to the physio otherwise she says his trainers are nicer. Turned down a place for him at OT group, she told the OT it was too far to travel.
I really don't know if she is genuinely struggling to cope & could do with some help, (she does have a very supportive family)in which case should I ask if there is anything I can do to help her?
Or can she really just not be bothered, if this is the case it winds me up because her beautiful little boy is missing out & she is also wasting valuable resources that other families need.
I really don't know if I should mention anything to her & if so how do I mention it without sounding like I'm sticking my nose in.
He is such a lovely sociable little boy.
I don't mean this to be contentious just don't know what to do for teh best?
