I fought tooth and nail to secure as early as possible, the services my daughter needed. She is now at university, which I have no doubt she would not have been without the earliest possible intervention.lmmomSD wrote:My daughter has special needs. She met her earlier milestones, but didn't have the language that I knew she should have had when she was her toddler. So I SAID something to her pediatrician. We got her evaluated. Because that's what parents who care more about what their kids need than their own egos, or sleeping in, or anything like that do. I am NOT a perfect parent. I had my lazy days. But I got my daughter what she needed. Still do. Because I know I won't be here forever, and I want her to have every advantage she can over her syndrome.snarksite wrote:ThisMervellla wrote:Sat Mar 23, 2019 10:27 am
The lack of understanding of these girls, worries me more than the poor speech. They appear to have no idea of what is being said to them, nevermind how to answer. As their parent, I would have anticipated the risk of developmental delay due to their prematurity and due to the fact they were quads. I would have been in there dealing with it before it happened!

The very fact that the girls were premature would have made me take them all for evaluations as soon as possible.
Proactive is definitely a word these people never heard of.
They are just too self centered and lazy to follow through.
And if nothing is being said from the preschool teacher, then I wonder if it really is an accredited preschool, or just some kind of church play group.
These two care more about how things _look_ than what their daughters need. This perfect happy family image is more important to them than getting those girls evaluated and treated. And the ironic thing is, that getting them evaluated would probably _increase_ their views.

There was no question of not getting her the help she needed. I wanted to ensure she had the chance to follow whatever path she wanted to. I didn’t know what that would be, but I didn’t want to have stood in the way of her achieving her maximum potential. I left my job as a nurse to give her the support she needed, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
That’s what you do when you have children. You put your life on hold and you nurture and protect your little people in whatever way you have to. To fail to do so is simply wrong.
