DVD on receptive language delay - free to a good home

[lingle]

DS2 no longer needs "Teach me to Listen and Obey volume 2". More details and preview clips can be seen at teachmetotalk.com.

Essentially, for this to be right for you, you need to have identified that your child has a signficant receptive language delay, and you need to have already got to the point where you can have back and forth communication between you and your child(if you aren't at that point yet, you need volume 1 which I've already passed on).

Anyone want me to post this to them? I do recommend it.

oh yes please. willing to pay p+p and make a charity donation. was looking up this dvd earlier and can't believe i've come across your post!
have been really worried about ds aged 2.7 and in floods of tears most night this week.

p.s ds under salt, paed and nursery sent off forms for statutory assessment and ed psych.

ok kissy that's fine.

I watched it again yesterday just to make sure I didn't need it any more. It brought it all back to me- what a struggle it was. I must have had some pretty strong emotional armour on through that period because my posts on mumsnet from that time sound very positive. Wish I could make you a cup of tea.

please email your contact details to both [email protected] and [email protected] (I set up this email address for this kind of purpose but can't remember whether it's .com or .co.uk and I'll try to pass it on this week.

Thanks ever so much, have just emailed you.
Wish I could put on more emotional armour right now!

ok - I'm working tomorrow and have a lousy memory so feel free to bump if it doesn't appear shortly.

feel free also to post on here about how it's going generally. it can help to articulate it.

I remember bursting into tears saying "no-one will want to play with him because they think he's autistic". I didn't post that but I think the kind regulars on here picked up my fears!

thanks so much for your generousity and kind words.
That is how I feel about DS. One of the comments that's had me most upset is how the other children at nursery are frightened of him as he has recently started to push and kick. Doubled with being very tall for his age it's hard.
I wish I could pick him up and run away from it all with their perfect children all scared of my two year old. Am crying at that comment now.
Thanks fo listening- feeling very isolated.

"I wish I could pick him up and run away from it all"

Yes I have felt that. If you start a thread on this board called "has anyone ever wanted to pick up their child and just run away?", practically the entire special needs board will be replying saying "yes I have" (go on, I dare you!). You aren't alone here, though it can be very isolating in real life.

thanks, is nice to talk to people who understand as am feeling increasingly isolated.

kissy
i know exactly how you feel my ds is 2yrs 9mth
non verbal awaiting asd dx we know he is its just a matter of waiting for that label, his pssn thinks he will be high functioning but i cant see it he has loads of sensory and food issues plus others.i have a good cry every few days my biggest worry is what his future will hold for him, dh is great with him as is ds1(14).
im so fed up at the min sick of ppl saying oh he'll come on all of a sudden

Thanks Lingle it arrived today :-) Will look into the charity payment on Tues. Off to Butlins tomo. Will let you know when sent.
Really appreciate it and am hoping it will help to bring on DS' speech.
