I know that sounds pathetic, but I have been going through the process of having Ds assessed sincejust before christmas last year. DS starts school in September and has been awarded EEYAP funding of 2 hours a day. Last friday there was a meeting which involved the Head teacher and DSs teacher at the school he will attend, nursery manager, nursery key worker, SENCO, and SALT, oh and me! The SENCO advised us to apply for more funding and then said that she thinks he shold be re assessed in Oct/Nov and if necassary(sp) try and get a statement. She said it was a very usefull tool to have and not to be alarmed.
I am slowly getting my head round the fact that DS has special needs, up until friday i didnt really think he had. I just thought he didnt talk very well!
Anyway my dad thinks that these people are just trying to justify their jobs and that DS is coming on and he will be ok and to stop worrying.
How can I make him see that his comments are not helpfull without getting angry and causing an argument. sorry for rambling on.
