Hi
So my son has verbal dyspraxia. He sees a private SALT weekly
Occasionally he will get a block of 6 NHS sessions. He is half way through an NHS block and has been seeing the private therapist every other week at the same time
The problem is that he has told me he doesn’t like the NHS therapist and doesn’t want to see her anymore. I also don’t think she is helping much as she doesn’t know him very well and has been pushing him to try and make sounds he isn’t capable of
My issue is that if I stop doing the NHS therapy then they will take him off the books, which could impact the support he gets when he starts school in September
So, do I force him to go for the last 3 sessions and risk putting him off speech therapy? Or do I cancel these sessions and risk being signed off the books?
I’m thinking about calling in sick for 2 of the sessions and just hoping they forgot to rearrange....
