Need advice re-home programme

[Guest guest]

Would like to hear from anyone doing a home programme.

We have been funded by the LEA for VB 6 months intial 20 hours per week from

what I can gather at a cost that would normally be a year 40 hours although this

is through a provider so extra cost there.

To my surprise I discovered that this had been agreed and started 2 weeks ago,

we did have the initial consultation but I assumed that was an agreement for

that period only between LEA and provider and not the entire 6 months, no one

actually bothered to tell me, although it was strongly suggestive, but

definitely not " official " can you believe that? What I am saying is that this

month May is part of his 20 hour funding.

Anyway what I need to know is exactly what should be happening?

I thought a provider would recruit and train the therapists who would then have

a starting date, we have funding for 3 therapists.

I'm trying to keep this short unsuccesfully, anyway what happened was the

consultant and supervisor turned up with one therapist untrained save for what

she may learn over that weekend along with ourselves.

This therapist has been for 3X2 hourly sessions where she doesn't seem to have

much idea to move it on from the initial stuff done over the weekend,

consequently is now pretty bored with it. The consultant herself was

amazing with , but she is not here other than scheduled monthly visits.

I contacted the consultant and she tells me we should be just repeating what she

did until next consultation mid June.

Without going into too much detail I really need to be on top of this so any

advice would be really appreciated. Also how often should an ABBLS be done? We

have sorted out the legal stuff regarding getting his 20 hours over the

entire period but who wants to get involved in a battle afterwards or even

during this time?

I need to be taking control straight away.

TIA
