portage and statement

[A and A]

hi there we have just recieved a letter from Portage and we wasn't accepted but they maybe able to offer a group placement if they can get 4 other children but explained to the portage staff they liam would have done better on his own as in a group situation he doesn't do well as he hates lots of noise and backs of from the activity, and the other knock back is that they won't do a statement which we were expecting as there isn't enough evidence as yet as he has his first assessment at the cdc on monday but they have acknowledged that Liam needs a special needs nursery placement so they have referred Liam to an educational pyschologist which is good news, just feel really low at the moment and hubby is taking the brunt of my feelings which isn't good for him bless him.

Hope it's just a temporary setback for you, but it's frustrating.

 

How did the CDC assessment go?

Hi there we were asked lots of questions about the pregnancy and then we spoke about Liam and his development and what we felt the problems were and then the doctor listened to liams chest and then measured his height and his leg measurements and measured his head and then done his weight, we then chatted some more and he agreed with us that Liam is showing signs of a child with autism which we had prepared ourselves for this, the doctor has requested to see Liam again in 8 weeks in which time he wants him to have blood tests done for fragile x, a muscle test and possibly a MRI scan at a later date, he was also going to chase portage as he feels that Liam would benefit from having portage at home. He also said that the multi discplinary team have a meeting every wednesday and he is going to discuss liam with them so will just wait and see what will happen next.
