G'day, folks.
What a day! difficult child 3 finally got his writing task done (sort-of) just as I made contact with his teacher to discuss the problems he was having. We're going to organise a face-to-face lesson for when he gets the next one. I talked to the teacher in charge of special provisions for the state-based exams at the end of the year - sounds like we're going to have a fight on our hands, the Board now apparently refuses "use of computer" and insists the kid uses a scribe instead. Not appropriate for a kid with autism, but they do try it on. However, it's not going to be easy, trying to get some appropriate support in place. Ridiculous, but this mob is notorious for not listening.
I've still got another red-tape fight on my hands with difficult child 1's health insurance which will keep me busy.
husband has been home today, which has been good. We didn't do anything much together, he was just pottering around while I was busy with difficult child 3. He came out with us when we left for difficult child 3's drama class, we took the time to do some shopping and get some more paperwork done. A productive afternoon.
Tomorrow we begin three consecutive days of appointments. We're going to have more of those ahead as we work on the special provisions applications. The Board wants all reports to be less than 12 months old, so we'll have to do this again next year too. Very frustrating.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
