Last week was our first meeting with the speech therapist person (can't remember her exact title) and she said she would call this week to set up an appt to meet up this week. She still hasn't called. So that means she will probably call tomorrow and I'm going to have to cancel my plans for Friday to accommodate her. I hate when people call at the last min, I hate when people think that just because I'm a SAHM I can do whatever whenever without a single hint of notice. I don't know what to do, I'm really not happy with this service at all. It's a state funded program and I'm thankful they do it at no charge, but that comes with a price too. The price is waiting, and unfortunately I don't think we have that opportunity. I'm going to speak with my Dr and my insurance and see what else we can do. I'm not trying to be ungrateful here but we are talking about my child who will be two in a month and a half and still isn't speaking or communicating... I'm sorry but 1 hour a week every week isn't going to do shit to help him. I do what she does every fucking day and it doesn't help.

Totally understand your reasoning behind venting!
Can you call them and ask why she hasn't called???
She called that night, of course I spoke too soon, and apologized for not getting back to me till the last min. I'm going to have a talk with her tomorrow when she comes about everything. I'm really not seeing the reasoning behind doing this any further, I don't know how to say this without being mean, but I really don't see how someone else coming to my house doing the same things I do with Nolan already helping him. Anyway, I had my choice between 8:30 am or 10am... not good choices at all either. Fridays are just bad in general, those are my mornings off, I take the boys to MMO and go grocery shopping and now I won't be able to do that which throws me completely off balance.
Andrea, I didn`t realize Nolan was still having some issues. I`m so sorry.
Since I`ve kind of been out of the loop,I just assumed things were going better. Just remember, he does have Carter to do talking for him, so to speak. Cassidy was much easier than Cade, and every child developes differently. My sister didn`t talk til she was almost 4! And she had tantrums. She was just a hard child with a temper. How is he when you leave him for your MMO? Does he have problems there?
Leapfrog makes some great computer software for kids of all ages. Have you looked into something like that? I had one for the kids when they were learning to read. It was awesome. I know Nolan`s too young for reading, but it might encourage him to say the word along with the guy`s voice on the computer. They`ll have a picture of say a bird, then guy says bird and in turn it encourages the child to say it. It goes on and on til they form small sentences. I`m sure they have learning products for all ages. They have awesome stuff. And you know how kids are fascinated with computers. LOL!
I do agree with you on how will one day a week in your home really do much help. But see what she says or what advice she can give.
Well I`m anxious to hear how it went this morning.
Hugs to you! Love, Chris
