Sorry for the delay
I have had to leave this to concentrate on tribunal plus I have really been suffering with depression and axiety.
Tribunal was held yesterday ... and instantly adjourned because the tribunal admin team had lost 2 important documents. It will now be a further 6 weeks until the hearing.
First of all I can't believe that the tribunal has lost important documents - and they admit they lost them. Second they are placing the onus on us to chase the documents and find out if replacements are needed - and if they are we have to replace them by a given deadline.
My son is VERY down today. He wanted everything over and done with. He wants to attend a school that can help him.
He's not done very well with his lessons today. His focus has been on the events of yesterday. Trying to get him back on track while keeping myself up beat has been a big struggle.
My son has been looking at overlearning on maths - so we had another look at multiplying and dividing fractions, working with percentages and multiplying and dividing decimals. Overlearning seems to make things stick in his long term memory as his short term memory does not work properly because of his APD.
French was fun. For the first hour we looked at naming other European countries in French, then moved on to some role play - ordering food in French.
English is next. For the first time ever my son loks forward to English. He has written a story of over 9 pages. This may not sound a lot to most people, but when only 6 months ago one of his stories was only 6 lines long this is amazing. He's now typing his story up so everyone can read it.
I have to return to work tomorrow which adds to my axiety because I can't monitor my son's progression or see where he may be struggling - I have to rely on my husband to provide me with that information, and to be honest it hasn't been successful in the past few weeks.
