Ok, sorry this is long but I am so ANGRY and upset.....so, after my steaming afternoon, got to toddlers all very nice, got taught how to crochet, felt a million times better walking home, got in post had been.....there were 2 referral forms for James. I knew they were coming and had seen the orignal ones (for speech audiology and dental hospital) when I saw original ones last week I corrected something she had written and gave her a list (granted it was scribbled but it had never been intended for her but she wanted it) of everything James could say.
I split the list in 3 sections
What he can say clearly that anyone could understand
Sounds - eg animal noises sirens ec
and
The things he says without opening his mouth (so all from the back of the throat) but with correct intonation
Now she was surprised at what he could say so said she would change the letter as there were more words than we realised once they written down.
She asked me yesterday if my copies had come, they hadn't.....I wish they bloomin well had!!!
It is utter nonsense what has been written, she hasn't listened to me and has mis interpereted what I said.
She says he has his won interpretation for words (incorrect) and that he says yum yum for Hello - wth!! I have never said that!! Hello and Yum Yum are as clear as day. I also explained on my piece of paper that everything he says is with appropiate meaning and appropiate usage all round. Not yum yum for Hello.
She also goes on tp say lots of other things that are completely untrue and i am fuming!!!!! now these letters have gone to the hospitals and not even right i feel totally useless now, can't get hold of her no answer. I feel like ringing up and telling them to stick all of it.
The letters make him sound like he is seriously delayed all round and that there is something really wrong with him I know he isn't that bad - even Diva, I know you have only met him twice but.....he's not stupid is he?
Sorry for the rant, I am so so cross I want to cry
