I wrote an article about this last year and was wondering if there are any other parents interested in reading it and share your experience.
My daughter is 8, she's in second grade but that's just to say she's in school. Access to therapies is very limited and she hasn't had any in years. When she did, I was working only to pay for them and school, but I had to stop working 2 years ago to care for her and be in school as her teacher, since we can't afford one.
If this is hard you guys to understand, schools demand ea h child with learning disability or diagnosis needs to have a professional with them at all times, basically they just ho to school to "socialize"
I feel so worried about her future, as a teacher myself I do what I can at home to teach her, help her but it's very difficult. I'm worried about her future, if I can't even get her to feed herself how would she ever be independent. There are so many things she needs to work on and I can only do so much.
I can't afford everything she needs. I know people say all they need is love and support and trust me, she has plenty. We love her, cheer her, play, sing, dance with her. She's full of joy but when it comes to DO something ( school work, feeding, doing something on her own), she's relentless.
Sorry for the rant. I just wish I could give her what she needs in order to become independent
