Went to DSA AGM this weekend gone... interesting hearing people moaning about having SALT and portage and think that perhaps their child does not need SALT at 6 months old..... I wish we lived in London - seems to be lots available.
I can't get portage as they don't do it in our area, SALT does not want to see dd as she has no feeding problems... no mind that she is not progressing with her language development.
Had a SALT presenting a session about creating standards of care for people by SALTs and the number of people moaning about what is happening - I just wanted to cry. I felt for a couple sitting next to me whose little ds is about 10 months old and has Down's syndrome. They have had no support - no physio, no OT, no SALT nothing.... certainly made me count my blessing for the little that I got.
BTW saw dd's two page spread in the DSA Annual Review - she looks gorgeous ( even if I say so myself) dh and I must not have been too good as there were no pics of us with her
