Today, we had our first appointment with Wake County Schools for Grace. We want her tested for cognitive skills and speech. She definitely needs speech. We don't think she is developmentally behind but our peditrician reccommends that we have her tested. Our tax dollars are paying for it and we definitely want her to get it if she needs it. Unfortunately, the case worker decided she didn't like Grace's previous hearing test and wants another one done. We can't move on with the testing until this is completed.
To say we don't have much faith in the Wake County Schools special needs program is putting it mildly. We know that Julia needs many more services than they were willing to give her. Hopefully, when school starts Julia will have a great teacher that will be willing to help us fight for what she needs. We are still trying to get her tested through UNC, too, for any cognitive delays. That would definitely help our case if we could get the process moving.
Wow! These kids are so lucky to have such wonderful parents who are willing to fight for them!
