Aidan has a new SENCO in the school, and its taken a while for her to get the extra help set up and in place.
Now some things she did very quickly like lending Aidan a talking tin:

These are great, very easy for him to use, and they give him the chance to record a short thought that he is having or even to record the teacher is he can't write down an idea quickly enough.
However the weekly homework has only just started over 3 months after the return to school. Hence I have spent the last few months whinging and the lack of homework rather a lot.
Skip to last week and home he comes with, his usual 10 class spellings, his weekly maths homework, a reading book, a workbook to use alongside the book, more spellings, about 8 worksheets based on a phonic sound, sentences and words to write out. Now this is alongside the touch typing and toe by toe he does everyday at home, his work towards his cub badges, his school topic work and his daily OT excercises.
Now I have moved very rapidly to moaning about him having too much homework. I am generally a very happy and positive person, so I think I need to get a life and stop moaning about homework ( both the lack and the excess of it).
