My head is spinning. 3 hours in the hottest room ever. Apparently I'm an over anxious mother who can't accept that my son is achieving average and this OK even though they ALL said he's a "very bright and intelligent lad". I say that he would be achieving above average if he was properly supported. But apparently that makes me an anxious mother.
They shot me down in flames when I asked for a wireless radio aid because he can follow other children in PE and doesn't need to hear the instructions . I repeatedly asked why because he's deaf he's only to be a sheep and never a leader and was told that lots of children are sheep. I tried to argue that he's never being given the opportunity to be a leader because he's deaf and apparently thats acceptable .
They did agree that they need to sort out his incontinence and the school will HAVE to follow the training program regardless of whether they want to or not. It has been agreed that the school will get a support worker on a once a fortnight basis just to support them in the training program but tbh thats not enough, the school can't do the program on a daily basis.
The dietician was told to do her job and liase with the school over my ds' special diet. So I guess if that happens that will be good.
But the overall feeling I've come away with is that I'm over anxious because hes doing just fine (ie. average) and there is nothing wrong with that even though they all agree he's got above average intelligence. Plus I've not got the wireless radio aid because they don't think its worth it because he can just copy the other children. Hasn't felt a very productive 2hours of my time tbh.
