Thanks everyone. I've just returned from the first session. At times I felt like "what am I doing here" when I heard others had 3yo's not talking or autism to deal with, but then I'd remind myself that if I wasn't looking into this, who's to know I wouldn't be in the same boat as those with the 3yo.

I was really frustrated going in because DH had called me at 5:30 to say he was leaving work and at 6:25 I rang to find out where he was because the session started in 5 mins. He was still at work. I was not impressed.

Anyway, it was good. A small group of 6 people. It seems very easy to follow and commonsence so far.

I left the session thinking that if DS's speech develops sooner rather than later I'll still have skills I've learnt (or had those I'm already using confirmed as good practice) to build on and help us communicate in a more productive way.

I guess a lot of it this morning was wondering if we were worthy of this publically funded course when I hear of others with older children really struggling & needing these services. I guess if the speechie offered it she feels it's warranted though.
