    <description>PnP. I am sure that things have possibly changed in the Qld public system since I tried to access them, but just in case they haven't, I did encounter a few constraints.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
First were the waiting periods.&lt;BR /&gt;
2) For Occupational Therapy, we had to go on a waiting list, when our turn came up we got to go once a week for a term (8 weeks) and then had to put the therapy on hold as we had to go back to the bottom of the list and wait for our turn to come up again - so the therapy was offered in "bursts" it was not continual iykwim, so any progress that was made in the first sessions were lost by the time the next sessions came around. Son was discharged at 6 "cured" despite not being able to hold a pencil etc, work scissors etc - very few self help skills etc Son still has needed OT up until the present and he is nearly 15.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
3) Speech Therapy - same as above &lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
4) Psych - same&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
heaps of other things too that were restricted simply because of the waiting lists, scarce resources and the amount of children needing to be seen.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Also a lot of things were dependent on following their guidelines (fair enough I suppose) even if you believed their specialists were wrong and could provide proof or at least support of this iykwim. There was no chance to explore alternative treatments or courses of action to what they suggested. eg - it was recommended that son be placed into a full time special education unit. We believed differently and found ways around this and were immediately denied further access to any public treatments/benefits etc.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I do hope that things have changed, but for us, there simply was no alternative but to access the private system</description>

How are you faring in the rain up your way? no flooding here but apparently the Sunshine Coast is copping it.&lt;BR /&gt;

You need to click on your user Id to go to your "My World" page.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Then click uner the red head picture where it says "edit picture" - that will lead you to your choices available.</description>
