Don’t believe you @jacindaardern so many broken promises in 6 months?

-
No there wasn't, just things that have been put on hold.
-
Because of the mismanagement by National of our country.
-
Rubbish Janette
-
Your saying that National never mismanaged anything under their watch? Your joking right? Where do we start?
-
Spelling would be a start
-
Still struggle to understand the message when the grammar is conflicted.

Your & you’re, gets me every time! I hate it when other people do it & now I’ve done it! Buggar!

But some disabilities are life-long??
-
My disability like others are permanent
-
Tyler, you've been through the NZ education system. What helped you? And what support was missing for you?
#EdConvo18 -
I actually was supported right through the school system with my Cerebral palsy from primary and high school until I hit Mairehau which cut the teacher aide support and then I had to start over
-
What age were you when the support stopped, Tyler?
-
18 at Mairehau. If I didnt go there the support would have stayed till I turned 21
-
Sounds like something that could and should be looked at, eh?
-
We tried but got denied!

But what about some conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, etc, which often aren’t even diagnosable until 8 years +
-
I agree. Early intervention should be extended till at least 7. In my experience (2 kids with diagnoses) Developmental paediatricians are wary of diagnosing learning disabilities till age 7 & just give a bookmark diagnosis like global delay, which yields little support in school
-
Mind you, even diagnoses like ASD or ADHD or dyspraxia or dyslexia don’t get you any additional support at school in a large number of cases.

Please pay special attention to transition services between EI and Primary school. No continuity of care between the 2 which can undo all the good specialist support in EI
-
Oh I agree with this soooo much! Vitally important!
@penny_mckinley would agree! -
That would be a YES!
