At least something positive today DS is going to BIBIC soon...

[mysonben]

Spoke to one of the bibic therapist this morning, she was lovely and seemed like she actually cared!
And they have offered a 2 day assesment including the CARS test for DS at the end of october.

At least we are getting somewhere, only 6 weeks of wait ! Not like the good old NHS...

I'm chuffted with that, this will be the first thorough proper assessment for DS. So we are hoping to learn a bit more about his delays and issues.

[moondog]

That sounds great. Remember to report back.So interesting to hear how people get on there.

[BethNoire]

Oh you will find it helpful. Tiring, but productive.

[Barmymummy]

[mysonben]

We are going on 22/23 october, and i'm so pleased and looking forward to it.

[Phoenix4725]

where are people staying last time mum took us so we stayed bit further out this time going via train so need near by for taxis

[Barmymummy]

Just read BIBIC website and it sounds wonderful. Was shedding a few tears watching the video, what beautiful kids.

Anyway, mysonben, where are you taking him to?

[mysonben]

barmy, going to the Bibic in Bristol (not sure if that's the only one?)

I must say the therapist who did the phone interview, was nice and answered my many questions.
To start with i wondered if ds was "suitable" for help from BIBIC because his issues are mild, but she said they see a whole range of disabilities, children don't have to have a dx to be seen,...

[Phoenix4725]

yep thats same one going to it,only one know they did used to do outreach but they stopped them.

I found them great help

[BethNoire]

Barmy- dont go to bristol LOL, it's Bawdrip near Bridgwater- whole different County

[BethNoire]

Phoenix email Peachy, she used to live in the next village. November is really ahrd to get if around 6th though due to carnival season

[mysonben]

Yes that's the one, south of Bristol.

[mysonben]

Actually just clicked on the map on BIBIC site, it is a fair bit down of the south of Bristol, near Brigwater yes like BethNoire said.

[BethNoire]

Er yes PMSL, only lived there for 32 years though [wink[

Somerset, just off the M5, if you come off at Dunball. On the brow of the hill, local shops Puriton and decent pub lunches there to be had.

[mysonben]

Thanks for the pub lunches tip.
Have never been there myself, i bet it has lovely countryside.

[BethNoire]

Absolutely, and is very close to Glastonbury etc if yu get a trip out time.

[Phoenix4725]

do not turn lef tout of bibic then left again for that pub expensive and not very nice

[BethNoire]

Ah no that pub is eeek

Wellr emember walking in there with my sister to be started at many old men playing dominoes: turned around and went elsewhere sharpish!

the ones in Puriton are fine, there's a gorgeous one a bit further along the A39, the pipers inn where I got engaged.... the Tom Mogg which is a bit more rural but worth getting google dierections for .... a good few LOL
