Speech Therapy

We had a call yesterday from a private speech therapist that was able to fit Blake in today on a cancellation. I jumped right on it--I had to work, but Dale was available to take him before his shift. Apparently Blake LOVED HER and Dale said she was excellant--he didn't want to go see her, but after he didn't want to leave and asked if he could come back after lunch. Whew! What a relief. At 70 bucks for 3/4 of an hour it's nice to know it'll be worth it. I guess we know where we'll be spending our bingo winnings. Thanks alot Public School System--I guess I should let them know that I'll be pulling my son out school for an hour to pursue his speech needs!

I can't believe that all the times you said he needed help.. and with all the efforts- like his one on one times he had with early intervention from being assessed in daycare....and they do not give him anytime in school for help...this is where downtown needs a shake!! and me seeing it from in the schools makes it no better....they expect me to help out 6 kids in one grade that are in 3 separate rooms....and the other kicker is that 3 of them are needing 100% EA support.... hmmmm... I think those fancy downtown people need to spend some time in the classrooms and see if their ideas are actually working for the children!!!

At my school we have a speech therapist that rotates schools. We get her for half a day every month. Imagine how many children she gets to help at our school of over 700 students! It is brutal!
