DD2 is 3 and due to start school Sept 2010. She has Congenital Hypothyroidism and severely delayed speech and language and locomotor skills and has moderate hearing loss in both ears. Nursery are fab but I am conscious that I really need to get informed and drive this process. I have applied for a Key Worker (have asked for her Early Years teacher that visits her at nursery). She already receives support for a Hearing Support Teacher and VERY infrequent SALT (very poor provision in this area) along with Early Years teaching support. She has a paediatrician, an encrinologist and audiology consultants seeing her regularly and receives some physio and OT.
Any good books or web-sites or MN threads that anyone can recommend please? I understand from nursery that I have to cultivate uberbitch highly assertive persona as it is likely to be a long hard fight . I have no idea what my chances are but am positive she will need a 1:1 for part of the time in Reception.
Apologies as I'm sure this sort of thread gets started all the time but I tried to search and struggled with which threads to look at. TIA
