i have seen the huge book/list that they use - it generally goes from the most basic of things like following something/someone with eyes (no offence to parents) to things like learning to ride a bike. But it goes in tiny tiny increments.

it isnt related at all to age, but developemental steps instead - to guide manually thru development.

Do you get portage?

jen ours leaves her book with us and she as one and we compare what chloe done for us and she marks the one she as! do you want me to look at some thing for you?

Our portage - J.S. has been thoroughly unhelpful in the statementing process. I asked her about statementing when DS5 first started seeing her - before he was 2, and she said "ooh dont worry about that i will organise that" . I naively believed her.

If only i'd have known back then that if id have asked for assessment then they would have to have done one by law! i have to appeal that bit now as well

We got turned down for Ecap as well, im sure because she paints this rosy picture - im all for being postive, but not at the expense of being turned down for help.

sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant
