Hiya,

Not ignoring you but not really sure what bitsea is. What is going on more generally? Why were you referred to a community paed?

hi well firstly my baby girl is just over 2yrs old she has a brainstem brain tumour ,epilepsy and severe behavioural problems and to top it off we are also dealing with sensory sensitivity so they are trying to help us with the behaviour and gave us this questionaire to fill out one for me and one for the nursery but we found all this out since last year and not getting any futher forward sorry for the long rant x

goodness you and your little girl have had a rough ride of it, going through so much.

Have no personal experience of Bitsea, so have just had a quick google, and it looks to be a screening questionnaire for social/emotional problems or delays - ie. that it doesn't make a specific diagnosis, but points up whether a child might benefit from some form of early intervention.

this is about the best definition I could find online_

The BITSEA stands for The Brief Infant -Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment[1]and is a brief screening questionnaire that can be given to parents to help identify social-emotional/behavioral problems and delays in competence in the 12 to 36 month age range.
It takes up to 10 minutes to administer and is being introduced as a part of a regular screening requirement in mental health services involved in this age group.

thanks for your help
