In the last of this guilt-ridden mass update, I thought I’d let you know how Meg is herself.
Basically, she’s great. Her speech is gradually improving- she’s using words more and more often although we’re not convinced she see’s the need to talk much!
We’re trying to put together a plan for her to learn through play a la Son Rise and our Play Therapist. Could take years but it’ll be well worth it.
You may, or may not, have heard of Son Rise.
Its basically revolves around the concept of unconditional acceptance and bringing the child out of isolation. Looks quite interesting. Unfortunately its American and costs $lots$. They do run courses over here though and some people have had some joy getting their LEA to fund or part fund their course. Have a look on their UK forum for examples.
We’re going to have a go at getting some funding for it as we’re now seriously considering home educating Megan, at least part of the time. This is due to our bad experiences with the LEA mainly. We’re a bit concerned about the social aspect of it but at the end of the day we’ve got to do whats best for Megans education as it seems the LEA aren’t going to take responsibility.
Other options include leaving our LEA area and moving somewhere with a better attitude.
OK, so I haven’t updated this for far too long. I could wheel out excuse after excuse but the truth is that both my arms were chewed off after a week long fight with 6,291 aliens that landed in the back garden and who abducted me and tried to, um, probe me- hence the week long fight.
Honest.
