I have decided to get private SALT for my ds.
My dilemma is this:
I have a friend who is a SALT, even though she hasn't been working in the field for over eight years. She has offered to see ds and do an assessment or possibly more. She is a SAHM so would have time (within reason).
Then I have contacted a private SALT who is happy to see ds and who has lots of experience, including with bilingual children. Obviously she would charge me.
I kind of feel uneasy about "using" the friend, and feel that in a way it might be easier to focus on ds's needs with somebody whom I know purely on a professional basis. On the other hand my friend is adamant that she is happy to do it. So which one should I go for?
