Tks Bronwyn and

I appreciate the vote of confidence - sometimes it does get a bit crazy and you start doubting yourself for a moment. I do feel better knowing that Mums who can relate to my rant!

Thank you ladies.

Re: VB QUESTION PLEASE!

Confidentiality is just that. You stated your reasons for keepingthings private, that was not respected. This isn't a matter of typesof therapy but types of person. Your rights are paramount - this teamof people only EXISTS in relation to your family because of YOUR driveto help your child. If there is a professional body to refer to then you should because itis hard enough gauging your child's needs and juggling their therapyand this is not in the interests of anybody, now or in the future. The relationship between a parent and their childs therapists can betricky but ultimately you know your child best and the kind ofprogramme/relationship/ that suits your family. No wonder you'reseething.Steph x>> I have just had a very frustrating experience which I would like toshare and would appreciate your comments. > > We have been running a VB programme for 2years and run into aproblem with our Snr Tutor.
