  1. I really cannot understand the way some teachers think. My R came home last week with a nice new book and inside she had the date and part of a heading. There was a note from her teacher saying: Please can Rebecca do this work at home. She needs to do three sentences, she spent 40 minutes doing the heading in class and it was such a mess I had to tear the page out. Because Rebecca wanted to try to do this writing I printed the work out for Rebecca to copy onto a pink background and did her some lines on pink background. Then eventually after two separate half hour attempts we got the work done. But I made sure that I stuck the letter and both attempts at the work in her book with my reply along with it. To my mind it would have been better for the messy work to have been left in the book and Rebecca being asked to do the work on the next page. Annoyed????? Me????
  2. I echo that! I applied for DLA when DS1 was first Dx'd in year 5 at school. Not sucessful... school not helpful I applied for DLA for DS2 back in the summer. Not sucessful ... GP asked for more info - fat lot of good he is! In the process of getting DD Dx'd and the topic of DLA came up again. Said I hadn't been sucessful with the boys, I was asked if I had appealed. I said I hadn't, and I got told off! So I applied again online this time .... I found this to be so much easier, still took ages but the onlone info makes it easier. I applied for all three children, bearing in mind that I had been told to think of the worst case scenario for all the questions. I have just been awarded DLA for DS1 ... thanks to the head of Special Needs at his school! Now I am waiting to hear about the other two
  3. Maybe make enquiries at your optician. I got tinted glasses for my eldest to help with his dyslexia from an optician. My optician referred us to another one who specialise in this test, it's very interesting. They were not cheap, the test cost �40 altogether, frames extra! But they come with a medical card which states they are not cosmetic.
  4. So sorry to read such sad news. Take care of yourself and the rest of your family. <'> <'> <'>
