We have an ENT referral and one for Sensory Needs. However, what can be done while we wait for these things? Her glue ear has been on and off for years (she is now 7 - Yr 2), but has been really bad the last couple of months. It is noticeable that she is playing with fewer and fewer children now and I think it is because she doesn't respond to them half the time as she can't hear. Sometimes she says that no-one wants to play with her, which is such a change as she was always a 'friend to anyone' kind of a child, and played with everybody.
She is also not concentrating in class - she sits at the front, but it is hard for anyone to hear in a busy classroom, and she certainly can't hear when the other children are answering questions. Because she can't hear things she is just drifting off into her own world . Teacher is aware, but not sure what can be done.
Anyone been here and can offer advice? I feel so sorry for her .
