"the therapist has said that if hse does not understand concepts e.g. God and death, she can't have SLT" do you have that in writing kathryn? is that in a report? specifiacally about god and death? if she has trouble getting words out etc then specific SLT seems highly appropriate. |

Hi Kathryn, just jumping in here ... 'e is nothing but a bit of stray coding that sometimes appears when people cut & paste from word. I know – it used to throw me too! Emma |

I am having a very similar problem, was told by slt my daughter was not capable of learning, so we taught her objects of reference, she learnt over 30, we then asked slt to teach her and us makaton, was told she is not capable of learning it, she now understands and can sign over 70 signs, it is amazing what we have taught ourselves and her, then asked slt to teach her to use Pec's, was told she can not possibly learn that, we paid to go on a course ourselves, she has picked it up, now trying the my choice app on IPad, again she is picking this up, still the slt will not see her or reassess her and her only comment is she is not capable !!! So frustrating, we can only teach her so much and are at a point where we don't know how to move her forward with her communication such as making/signing sentences, how to teach her to read ??? She is 5 in a special school but communication is not their speciality, any one got ideas greatly received, thanks |

Forgot to say she has no speech, she is believed to have worsted drought syndrome, but got different doctors arguing over this! |

Hatangle - My daughter had Down's, was very short-sighted and partially deaf. She signed from about 15-18 months and her special school taught her to read using makaton symbols (it's not just a signed language) and then gradually changed over to english. When she died aged 14 she was reading level 4-5 on the oxford reading tree, writing independently and a whizz on the PC. Anything is possible if you put in the work and use the right method. |
