hi Lynne,
i love working with children with additional needs and as from september i will be working 1:1 with a child full time where as before i only had her once a week as i was employed as a personal care assistant but now im qualified they are employing me as a TA, im really looking forward to it as i enjoy supporting her x

Blast sounds so good i might give it a go with the children in our setting obviously will do alot of research first.

We have a speech and language therpist come into our setting and i have been working with a child with cerebral palsy for two years but she is just about to start school, i will miss her, really had a good attachment with her and her parents. she hardly had any speeh when she started but she has improved so much she speaks complete sentences now and don't want to say it but you can't shut her up now lol. I think thats where we make a difference and i think this should count rather than to keep updating these courses but saying that i havent been pressurised into doing this it was my choice and i'm glad i did and i have really enjoyed it, been a bit stressed at times but with people like Wendy and Tina helping the stress was quickly relieved
