Where in the world are you?

[Guest guest]

Hi, Just wondering where you are? I had sort of gathered from some of your

posts that you were overseas from us in the U.S., but being new to the list was

unsure.

Where ever you may be...wishing you peace and safety.

Nope, I did not even know how a list worked when I first arrived and here we

are today. I wish more people from around the globe would talk more often

because I like hearing what issues they have in their areas compared to us.

I will try but I always seem to be rushing around these days and then of

course we only have one pc and you can guarentee when I have spare time Jess

is doing her homework on here.

Jack had a nice compliment paid him tonight,he has been doing a music

workshop which ended tonight and the man running it said he last worked with

Jack 2 yrs ago and he has come on so well he said before he was happy but

over the top all over the place but now he is still happy but knows when to

stop playing about,of course Jack stood there beaming and I feel it really

did him good to have an outsider pay him compliments.

Sue, I'm still trying to figure who is where and keep up with what going on with

who. Plus the obvious serious distractions going on.

I'm fairly new to email and have just found out how to list emails from one

person; so i've just come back to yr post about where you live.Fill me in on yr

view on sevices over here and what services you.ve fought out of the

establishment.

I had the idea that education for kids like ours in the US was so much better.

For most , I've woken up the the reality that it's fight,fight ,fight all the

way to get anything like what our kids need; here and in US/Israel,etc.

If you want to save time repeating yr situation send me yr earlier intro with a

postscipt. LOL Jo. d. P.S.Does yr daughter have hearing probs? I was part of

the NDCS(national deaf childrens society).

Hi Jo,

I fought for everything for Jack (I didn't know what was wrong just

knew something wasn't right) until he got his dx at age 10 then as he was in

his last year at juniors I left him where he was with an aide (fought for

the hours though lol) he then went onto special school which to begin with

was okay and I thought I could relax hahahahahaha I have still found myself

explaining over and over again to them why Jack does whatever annoying thing

he happens to be doing at the time,anyhow he has since Sept been in the

autistic unit which is part of the school and to a degree is getting on

better until of course I went to the annual review a couple of weeks back

and they handed me a letter from the ed pchy who had suggested Jack could

use some OT for his writing skills etc when I asked if they were getting

this organised for him the answer NO I have to get my doc to refer me I

couldn't believe it so now I have to bully the doc into getting me an urgent

appt at the hospital for OT which I know for a fact has about 1 yr waiting

list,so really I think our services are crap.

On the other hand with Amber I put my foot down big time when she was 18mths

old and refused to be fobbed off with she is just a late talker etc so she

has been very fortunate and been in the system since then but this is

probably because her speech disorder is so severe,no she doesn't have

hearing probs now she did in the early years and I was foolishly hoping

grommits would solve the speech issues (even though her teacher told me

otherwise) but of course they didn't but they have solved her hearing probs

so at least she can hear ther sounds clearly that she is learning.I will

have school probs with her in 2 yrs as there are no senior speech and

language units round here and she is too able for MLD school which is what

Jack's is so although I am prepared to fight I'm not actually sure I have

anything available to fight for.

So getting back to our services over here I think they are pretty bad in

general,they all seem to think our kids will outgrow the need for help once

they are ready for senior school,I guess that means someone waves a magic

wand and the difficulties disappear lol.

Hi Fania,

Relax means take it easy,I forget you are also having to

translate everything you read and write,you must have so much patience.I

would love to be able to switch from one language to another like that.
