Consultant told us this morning that there is no money in the budget for aiding DS' hearing. He needs a specific type of aid for which the budget is being 'squeezed' (consultant's words).
I feel so angry and upset for him. I feel sad that he will never, unless we really, really fight for it, be given a chance to hear like other DCs. The aids might not work, sure. But we could have tried them and known for ourselves. He has the 'wrong' type of deafness, that's all.
I just wanted a rant really. We've slipped through the net AGAIN and where I will find the energy to come back this time I have no idea. I will fight this but I just don't know how at the moment.
Silly me for thinking that 'Every Child Mattered'.
