Hi
My son is in the dudley area and is 11 years old due to go to secondry school sept 2013. However we are in the assessment stage of attempting to get a statement of special educational needs as he is profoundly dyslexic with a high verbal I.Q, mild dyspraxia, irlen syndrome, hypermobile fingers and sensory issues plus anxiety. The LEA at present are insisting mainstream is the best place for him even though i have had mainstream schools tell me they are unlikely to be able to manage his needs and i might have to look at special schools.But getting the opposite from the LEA
As you are probably aware its complicated and long winded process and a fight is enevitable on my part.
Does anyone have any good advice, experience of Dudley LEA and statementing or know of any good special schools or independent specialist schools.
Any advice welcomed
