Well, here we go the DLA Claim pack has arrived

[MegaLegs]

So has the info pack from Cerebra. I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I have a child with SN.

hi megalegs, when nmy son was first diag with an asd, i refused to fill int hat form for ages- 'he's not 'disabled'' is what i truly believed. and in many ways i still believe that. i guess you have hopes and dreams for them and then suddenly, even if you have known in your heart alls not as it should be, it seems as though its been taken from you. i promise it will get better. have you been given contact details for any support groups near you where you can meet other parents in the same situation? i know that has really helped me.

ILMBBH - have looked up a few support groups for children with Hypotonia but nothing local. We have a meeting at the CDC on Mon to arrange a place in the theraplay group so hope to meet some other parents there. Also a friend is setting up a music and movement class which starts next month, another good place to meet I hope. Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks Socci - had a quick look through the forms but will sit down later and have a good look through mn archive and fill in all the bits I can. The lady we see on Monday at the CDC said she can help with the form filling too.

Good luck, Megalegs.

good point amyclaire. i did that the first time but forgot with my second child. that form is a complete pig to fill in. best of luck!

Thank you all - am just about to put boys to bed then sit down and have a really good look.
Brilliant tip about photocopying amyclaire - thanks, I wouldn't have thought of that.
