Frustruated


I'm so frustruated and upset right now. My son Elias is supposed to begin speech therapy today and the therapist refused our case because we live to far for her. This information would have been useful last week and I could have had a replacement by next week. The fact that the office of Early Intervention did not inform me pisses the fuck off! My coordinator hasnt called me and I left her message asking her wtf is going on? She has been very cooperative with us so I'm not going to assume that this is her fault.

I'm stressed, my son is going to be 2 in November and he still sounds like he is 9 months!!!! He looks like a toddler but when he opens his mouth its a different story. My mom took him the other weekend, and he spent the day with her, she has experience with disabled children. When I picked him up he was so happy and he had learned a little bit of sign language! I was shocked that he learned a few words in such a short time and he under stood what they were. This is something that I have to accept and face that, I would have to use sign language to communicate with my son. Waiting around for services will just delay him more, and I dont want to do that.

Finally a new post! lol. Na but that does really suck I would've been pissed as hell. But that's good that your mother taught him some things. Nehemiah and Illianis when they had the same problem both learned some sign language too so I guess that is helpful. I wish ya all the luck.

Yeah, that's bad. I didn't know distance meant anything when it comes to provided care.

Are there any other speech therapist nearby, besides the ones who declined the case?

Good luck.

I eventually found one-and she was EXCELLENT! In 9 months my son was calling me mommy.
