Had a really positive session with ds2's SALT today. Ds2 was doing lots of good looking' and good listening' and we had a hilarious time with the SALT's doll. Ds2 was absolutely mesmerised by her eyes and eye lashes - will now rush out and buy him a doll tomorrow
Anyhow, for those of you that have seen me moaning on the HV thread - I just wanted to say that the SALT couldnt have been more understanding. I was bemoaning the fact that because ds2 has no real dx, we seem to have slipped through the net and that I only stumble across things, either from other SN mums or on here! Eg.. Someone on here suggested Portage, so I say how about Portage' and the professionals say oh yes thats a good idea' and I say would hydrotherapy be good for ds2' and the professionals say yes, that's a good idea'.
Anyhow, SALTy was very helpful and she was amazed that I didnt know more...I did the `whats this I've heard about something called team around the child' and she was absolutely amazed that we didn't have that. She is going to sort it and also to involve Social Services (not quite sure what that means - can anyone help please?) Finally, feel as if I am getting through these muddy and complex waters. She also really took on board the fact that I felt completely let down by the system (thank god for you lot! ) when ds2 was newly diagnosed with SN and she said that she was going to pass all this back....
Well all I hope is that some other new SN mum finds things a little easier as a result
