DYSLEXIA, DYSGRAPHIA AND DYSPRAXIA!

Yesterday I had to visit the Dr to get them to fill in and sign a form from the Welfare (WINZ) so we could continue to recieve a small amount of money to go towards helping Griffin with his learning.

WELL... according to the Doctor Griffin did not meet the 'criteria' of having a disability!  OK, he's as healthy as a horse PHYSICALLY... but his learning disability impacts HUGELY on his MENTAL HEALTH lady!  I was not impressed.

I talked to his Speld Teacher.... and she said we needed to see a Peadiatrician... as she was sure Griffin has:  Dyslexia, Dysgraphia AND Dyspraxia.... I didn't know about the Dyspraxia.... so I Google'd it.... YEP, he has that too.

So, today we are visiting the Speld Teacher (instead of on Thursday as Griffin has a class trip on Thursday) and she is going to let us know who to see so we can get the Disability Allowance reinstated.

I can't believe this really.... and hope we don't have to jump through hoops every year to get the $help.  It costs a bomb to keep him going to the Speld Teacher once a week!   AND he really needs to go. 

So, that's what I am doing this morning...taking his nibs to his Speld lesson.  Then I will come home and do something!  I don't know what!  But I should be doing some Christmas shopping!  Maybe that's what I will do.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  4 little fat quarters I got in Pukekohe today... and a bacon burger, which I am going to eat in a mo.  So... I was HUNGRY!
lol
All good, but a super muggy hot and humid day.  It rained overnight, which is good for the grass/plants but not for us who feel the heat!  *sigh*

Off to eat me burger now...

Le Burger was YUM!   So was the 2 hours I spent on the net reading up on stamping/techniques.   *sigh*.. it is so easy to get carried away reading up on all the ways you can make cards, tags etc!  It's AMAZING how 'technical' some cards are!  The amount of time that goes into them.    Mine look so AMATEUR compared to others. 

Enough fluffing around, time to think about what's for dinner.. not that I want any!

End of Day:  and I feel like I've done bugger all today really.  Must do better tomorrow. nite nite.
