Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

An Explanation Would Be Nice

 

I have been anticipating R’s testing on May 20 for the last few weeks. Initially we were told it could take up to 6 weeks to have his initial testing appt, and were thrilled when we were allocated a place 3 weeks from consultation. It clashed with a family planned vacation, but, so what? The child is far more important, so we postponed said vacation. Lost our deposit, never mind. We let the school know R would be away on Tuesday. Hubby planned time off work. I planned time away from commitments, lucky I do not work Tuesdays. R had to miss a school excursion, a big one, so we were really placing importance on Tuesday 20th.

I get home from work Friday night and there is a message on my answering machine, saying “R’s appointment has been cancelled for next Tuesday. We will be in touch in the next 10 days.” This is AFTER a message confirming his time ??????

CANCELLED. Not even postponed, no sorry, no explanation, nothing. Not really very impressed. We moved a lot of mountains to get here, cancelled a holiday, - now we miss a holiday, R misses an important school excursion, and we have to start the planning round about again. Not to mention the fact that we still want and need our holiday, and what’s the bet the testing falls on the dates we moved the holiday to? This did NOT install a lot of Faith in sceptical husband who thinks they have taken his fat cheque and run off, and the call was unprofessionally handled. R is devastated, he really thinks the program will help him change his life – and what better time to start with an eager child rather than a despondent one?

And looking further into my post I have found this.
