Couple of fits and lots of disruptive coughing/suction etc. We took him out part way through - they (council officers) thought it was because he was getting 'worse', in fact he was telling us he was bored and would have got even 'worse' if we'd stayed.

Takes a few visits at school for them to get the real picture! However, that he "cutes" the trousers off everyone certainly works in our favour as they are then very willing to try and help!Oya's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184649716540468970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879716658406635531.post-27639957012995085592011-02-01T12:58:19.534+00:002011-02-01T12:58:19.534+00:00The less 'straight down the line' services...The less 'straight down the line' services etc. needed, the more meetings - you still have to do the work/care but you have to justify it as well. And by definition, people with a disability are not 'straight down the line'. It's not even like they look after your child while you have the meetings mostly either - have to find alternative care or have meeting disrupted - I tend to go for the disruption, it can be educational, for them.ned ludd carerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087056514386460357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879716658406635531.post-33897297062002928062011-02-01T06:51:17.107+00:002011-02-01T06:51:17.107+00:00Honestly got to be the worst part of the caring pr...Honestly got to be the worst part of the caring process; no one seems to just allow you to carry on with it, there's always meetings and progress reports and none of it is actually designed to get you some help, so I wonder why they bother...<br /><br />meetings for me for the next two weeks as it seems my decision to homeschool at home is causing more bru-hah than the fact he tried to strangle another pupil in class.Oya's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184649716540468970noreply@blogger.com
