Ok, so we finally did it. We brought Izzy to the polyclinic for a referral for speech therapy. After speaking to the dr there, he gave us 2 referrals. First referral is for her tip-toeing, so we will be seeing an orthopedist on 3rd march. Second referral is to a child development specialist before we get to see a speech therapist I guess. That is on 27 April which is still quite some time away.
Our GP did warn that it may take 6 months so I guess 2-3 months time is not so bad. Wish it could be earlier though. Let's hope that this means very much subsidized consultation rates as I expect she will need quite a few sessions.
Maybe she will surprise us by speaking before then... we can only hope...
Is it very highly subsidized if referral by poly? Tip toeing even when wearing shoes? Try letting her wear heavy sole shoe?
ReplyDeletesupposedly very subsidized... will have to wait and see..
ReplyDeleteyeah she can tip toe in her crocs but not in her school shoes which are the heaviest but she walks very slowly when she wears them....
