(The 3.5 year old screening clinics are postponed until March due to the H1N1 vaccine clinics this year!!).<br /><br />anyhow - the dr. said it would take over a year if he referred us, so I should contact a private therapist.<br /><br />I am wondering if you ever got into a program with your daughter, and if not - how did you follow up on this?<br /><br />I would appreciate any insights you might have gained from your experience with your daughter.<br /><br />How can I contact you? I have never posted to anyone's blog before...do I have to post my email address publicly or is there a way to get it to you privately?<br />Thanks!<br />AndreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22959947.post-27015501669983107292008-07-01T00:09:00.000-03:002008-07-01T00:09:00.000-03:00...And just think, I have a friend who is about to......And just think, I have a friend who is about to graduate as a speech therapist and she is DESPERATE to get a job in Fredericton, but there are no openings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22959947.post-32683586489367722062008-01-12T14:01:00.000-04:002008-01-12T14:01:00.000-04:00We've certainly seen the delays in the speech ther...We've certainly seen the delays in the speech therapy program in this province. Our son was evaluated because he had tubes in his ears and there's always a concern for delays due to that. We were told that we would be contacted for an evaulation in June (when he was 2) and the following February we received a call to come in. After the initial evaulation, he did not actually start seeing a speech therapist until September (at 3 1/2)... that was *well* over a year after the process was started and we were 'in line'.<BR/><BR/>I've been very happy with the results once he started seeing somebody, but getting to that point was a very slow process.Faith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00677868987951937341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22959947.post-45436010241409588522008-01-10T13:22:00.000-04:002008-01-10T13:22:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness that's nuts!

We didn't even get notification for Alex's 3.5 year screening, at 3.8 months I called and it took another 2 months just to get in! Be warned that the communication between the dept of health and dept of education also sucks! I ended up spending hours of my time last year because they flagged Alex's school file as not having his immunizations up to date (and I'd checked with the doctor that summer who had the exact same read out they did). I had to take time off of work, to go over to public health to get something signed by them that he was up to date, to satisfy someone in their department, arghhh!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264257187233329365noreply@blogger.com
