Hello

We are taking DD to her assessment with a Speech Therapist next weekend because she is 3 & 1/2 yrs old and is still finding it difficult to say clear sentences. DD has improved over the last few weeks but still has a long way to go and we are hoping to nip it in the butt before she starts school in 2012!

So what can I expect at this first assessment and over the lessons that she will need?

We are going through this privately because there is a 12 mth wait in the public system. I was talking to a public development centre back in December and they recommended that I take DD in to get her hearing checked as she has had ear infections and bronciolitis (sp?) so could have some fluid in her ears. We have not done this yet as our family doctor has been on holidays and will be for another 2 weeks. But the private lady said nothing about this so hopefully it will be ok to start straight away.

Any information you have would be greatly appreciated
