Well, TBH, it's more like hysterical sobbing.

Halfway through composing Arsey Letter Of The Day, I noticed I had a message on my phone.

It was the OT.

She is ordering a buggy for DS1

Erm.

I didn't ask for one.
I can't use one.
He doesn't have a physical need for one. (he uses it as a safe place when overloaded.)
I DID ask for input from a sensory trained OT, but they have none of them. SO we are getting a buggy instead, it seems.

Arsey Letter Of The Day is to the OT and SALT services regarding piss poor provision...

Oh dear. Maybe she works on a "If in doubt, order a SN buggy" theory? Or gets comision from Maclaren?

It's what education provision used to be like:

Child has a disability, so let's not do anything for them, but order them a laptop to keep mum happy!

Love the idea of Arsey Letter of the Day. Seem to have one to write each day myself at the moment.

FWIW have also found equipment easy to get hold of. Therapy nigh on impossible. Amazes me how they all avoid spending any valuable time with our dc.

I'm just taking a break from arsey email of the day. Too complicated to explain but I am more sick of fighting to get what my children need than I ever thought it was possible to be.

Why does everything have to be such a stupid pointless battle?

Why do they all think they know so much better than we do what our own children need?
