SALT

Now this one has been an ongoing disaster.

Aidan really struggles with certain sounds in particular c, t, g and d. We were getting support from the school, and they had been trying to encourage him to say the sounds.

However this just was not working, so we asked for a referral to SALT, and were told that this had been made. Over the following year and a bit I regularly asked about the referral and his therapy, and was told he had been seen and the school were doing the therapy.

Fast forward to a new SENCO ( and about 18 months after the initial referral) and it seems that it was never made and he was never seen, arggghhhhh!

Anyway the old SENCO has retired and I don't think it will help Aidan or anyone else to whinge about this, but it is beyond annoying!

So the new SENCO has kindly chased SALT and got them to put him on the waiting list while they awaited me coming in to fill in the necessary paperwork. Now the paperwork is done, the referral is sent and I have a letter confirming that he is on the waiting list.

Lets see how long this wait will be.......
