hi welcome to this place

Welcome. I'm recently new as well.

 

The best bit of advice I can give is to go out and get yourself a big file, and start to keep copies of all of the letters you send and recieve around your child, as well as notes on all of the phone calls. I know that when I started off I thought I would remember everything, and then realised that I couldn't keep track of when I had spoken to who, and what they had said. This is really important when the different agencies get involved (like Speech, paediatrics, etc). And in the front of that file, keep a note of useful contacts - and don't be afraid to call them regularly if you need to. We have been waiting for nearly a year for my son's Statement, and I kick myself for not being more pro-active in chasing the people involved (his paediatrician missed the report deadline by months, by the time I found out and chased her, hard, she had it written the same afternoon).
