[QUOTE="Leisa, post: 185918, member: 5755"] Hello, Thankyou all for your info and support and Marg thankyou for all that info too. Firstly I have applied twice for carer payment and got 2 knockbacks. I got a letter from the school and psychiatric saying Im on call to get him, which I do, alot of the time it is just past 9am and they call me to collect him. So those letters give me 12 months that I don't have to look for work, but I still have to hand in a form every 12 weeks, and every year go through trying to get the letters again :( I do receive the carer allowance I think its called, $100 a fortnight. Thats a couple of petrol runs to the psychiatric's office. I did the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire and it came back as 142 Moderate Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), should this be of great concern for me?? (I will be taking it next week to the psychiatric.) As for school, umm grrr ok, There is a lovely man teacher that has a fondness for 12yr and includes him in the sports teams he runs there and away. Without him I think our school life would be way worse or non existent. I go to big meetings there every 6 months and the Dep of Ed attend, to see if the school still need financial assistance with 12yr. Got one coming at the end of sept. This entitles 12y to an [U]"occasion"[/U] teachers aide, (same one as last year that he hates and calls the Stalker) She follows him at recess he said. 12yr is in year 5, he has repeated twice due to lack of learning,( what do they expect with so many suspensions) 12year has been told repeatedly that if there is any trouble or boys picking on him to go to the office and just sit if he wants and not to fight back. The school councilor told me yesterday that these boys know how to push 12yr's buttons and they do because they want to see the show!!!! I'm waiting for the result of the basic skills test, should have them in a few weeks. Apparently if they are a certain percentage under the bench mark, they are entitled to $700 from the government for tuition. But counciller said he didn't know if there doing it this year! Why was I never told about this, a neighbour told me last week. We have been trying to get him in Ajuga every term, but I don't know if that would be the right thing for him and the councilor seems not to think so anymore so? I am extremely worried about highschool aswell, I've been trying to get doctor's to pay for tuition on the grounds of self-esteem. I will be in court for the next 2 days 2nd ex is trying to get custody of 8yr, I'm really worried about that, its not looking good. If that happens that will totally break 12yr and me too. So fingers crossed, waiting to get the phone call from Headspace and hopefully he got in! Thankyou again Leisa xx [/QUOTE]
