[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 538674, member: 8045"] Thanx for all your suggestions and support! Had the appointment with ST today.....she is a very clever woman, with lots of love for the kids, very positive and with plenty of experience! Buddy....she isn't the same ST as difficult child...she only works with preprimary kids. She informed me that little dude allready has ST twice a week, but said she will start including him in the speech enrichment program, where he can interact with other kids! :) OK....what she said: In her opinion kids benefit most if they can be taught in mother tongue op to grade 4...... She said that usually kids who attends school in 2nd language, takes 3 years to learn new language....grade 000, gr 00, gr 0....then they will e ready for gr 1.....BUT that is if their 1st language is well established, but little dude's 1 language was 18 months behind with his first assessment, 4 months ago! She also said that all this will be ok...IF the child only has speech delay, but if, like in little dude's situation, he also has other problems, like major SI problems....then everything becomes more difficult! So....bottom line: She feels, we still have 6 months left....that he already improved SO VERY MUCH in such a short time.....and if we as parents are willing to let him repeat gr 00, we might succeed in this English school......She says that we need to maybe find out about Afrikaans options...I did...none really available as private, small group schools......give him time and regularly get together as a team....with ST, Occupational Therapist (OT), teacher, principal and parent.....to discuss the future plan! For now....we scheduled the EEG for next week Wednesday....has the parent interview next Thursday with teacher and then we might schedule meeting with principal to discuss her opinion! So guess this is it! sorry for long reply!!!! [/QUOTE]
