We have received the details of Alice’s speech and language assessment, i don’t think there were any big surprises but the assessment is incredibly detailed. We think that therapists are just playing with her, but actually they are writing down almost everything we say and everything she does.

Christopher Place concludes, Alice is age appropriate in attention and play, but has delays as you would expect in receptive and expressive communication. Interesting they put age ranges on these which indicate a 1 year delay already.

It’s frightening to think that she’s already this far behind and the guilt of being the world’s worst parents continues to eat me up. But I am now even more determind to get things done as quickly as we can.

Dear Christopher Place, we need your help, please find a space for us for Christmas. Dear Kingston PCT, pull your finger out and sign the bl**dy form.
