If you factor in the effective loss of the specialist assessment ‘pot’ it’s a 60% reduction. I’d love to know how the government anticipate this will come close to meeting need. Here’s a clue … it won’t come close. Costs rising for providers, FAL slashed - make it make sense. @janetdaby.bsky.social

As a mum, I have been hailed by professionals who know my 1st born as a model parent (he’s an all round achiever). And condemned by some who only know my 2nd (my AuDHDer). They are nurtured the same. My parenting isn’t great or bad- It’s standard. My kids have unique attributes, in body and mind!

My daughter often makes a pronouncement on my outfit in the morning…
Recently I’ve resembled a hazelnut, an autumn leaf and this morning a Victorian lady … I’ll leave it there…
