Hi people, this is my last resort because i just dont know what to do or where to go any more, my head feels as so it is going to explode. I have a three year old son who will turn four at the beggining of june. My son has special needs, is delayed by two years with speech an mobility broblems, he can walk but is very very clumsy and tends to fall over a lot and carnt manage to walk very far. He is not my problem, other people are such as his father, my partner of six years and my parents are the problem, they all seem to be in deeniyel, (sorry about the spellings) They all blame me for his problems and say its how i treat him, they say i have maudy coddled him. I new that there was something not right when he reached ten month so i made him an appointment with the health visitor who then reffered him to consultants and other proffesional people, hes had all the tests and mri scans but all results have come back clear, but the consultants are telling me that there is something not right but two year later still havnt given me any answers, the problem started with my fammily a couple of nights back after i had been to my sons parents evening at nursery, my son has a support worker with him in the nursery at all times, this is part of an organisation for children with spcial needs at nursery but as he will be mooving up to school in September and will be there all day every one such as his teachers, physio, consultant e.t.c all have to put a report in to the government to get him the support he needs five full days a week, but the nursery has informed me that if this dosent go in our favoyr and he does not get the full five days support then they will reapeal but if that still doesent get us any where they have said that my son will be better off in a speciaql school. I am looking at it as the worst case synario, i disscused this with my partner and my fammily and i just got ' dont be so silly, theres nothing wrong with him' and my partner is the worst one because he says that my son dosent need any of the support. My head is just spinning, i fel as so im going through this all alone, the one person who i want there to support me is in deeniyel and carnt even talk about this because it just causes arguments. just woundered if any one has gone through the same thing and has a little advice for me. thanks for taking the time to read this.

Please don't see special school as a worst case scenario - your childs needs are more likely to be met in this environment. Your son will have an education that is geared towards his needs and the class size will be small. You can always move him to mainstream school when you feel he is ready for it. It sounds as though you need to convince your family to put their own feelings aside and focus on what your child needs to live a happy and fulfilled life. Its often easier to bury our heads in the sand and hope that our kids will "catch up". This doesn't always happen but that doesn't mean that the rewards aren't there. It sounds as though you have accepted your sons problems but are lacking support from your family. It is essential you get this support to enable you to move forward - can you get a health worker involved with your son to talk to your family? You all need to be heading in the same direction to get through this.
