we are going through a process just now that seems to entail lots of meetings with school in the form of face to face, phone calls and emails. chasing up referrals, reading those referral paperworks and sifting through pages of information looking for what applies to us at this moment and it's overwhelming.
I feel that all our communication with school and NHS just now talks only of my child's challenges. I do understand the need for this and for the referrals to highlight it all in detail in the hope that they get the best support when eventually seen.
We know that wait time for SLT and OT is currently 12 months and for Neurodevelopment is 3 years. I can't face 3 years of these conversations knowing that what is to follow is likely to be more challenging.
How do other people walk away from the meetings and paperwork and get back to focusing on their child's abilities and strengths?
i really want to enjoy the summer break with my child and not have the fear of school looming
