I like it so far. Have you ever met her and has she helped you? If so, how has she helped you. In that book it states that she has helped mentally handicapped children, I would love it if she could help us, but I don't think that I could get to where she's at. Grace .. .. >>> Grace Why don't you send Dr. s an email and ask her some questions? Her email contact in at the website www.andrewsreiter.com Don't forget Dr s herself had seizures. I hold her in high regard and have had several contacts with her and Dr Reiter. It may take some time for her to get back to you. Or just phone and talk to her..... read her workbook too. mjh http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I agree with you, , that the majority of problems are identified by some other source and not necessarily at the developmental 'checks' but I think that this only applies to certain families and not the 'hard to reach' that we are never very good at accessing/getting a good, trusting relationship with. From personal experience it took a lot of work, contact, understanding, etc with families in socio-economically deprived areas for them to come forward with worries. Now that so many families only receive one visit (birth visit) and not much else there is not the scope to develop the necessary relationship. I would be very interested to see the results of any work that looked at missed referrals, late identification of problems etc. I sem to remember reading somewhere that someone was looking at something like this, but my memory might be misleading me (not for the first time!). I daresay someone out there can enlighten us? best wishes Toity From: [mailto: ]Sent: Mon 18/04/2005 17:40 Subject: Digest Number 1482 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005  Toity, I am fairly confident that there is no work being undertaken by the PCT to discern missed opportunities - however, it might be more fruitful to ask the DfES if they are gathering stats on children coming into school with undiscerned needs.
