Hi,
DS2 (5.11 yrs) confirmed with ASD dx, EHCP request initiated by me in expectation of diagnosis (DS1 also ASD, so know the path).
However, DS2 has more profound difficulties than DS1, with substantial behaviour difficulties (violence, aggression) as well as sensory processing issues and receptive language processing difficulties.
Draft EHCP received in this morning's post (only submitted in Feb, so not too bad going!). He's been granted 25 hrs one to one, which is great and school have already appointed someone. Only thing is, there is no-body at his school that has any training in ASD and are woefully lacking in resources.
I want to name an alternative special school so that he can have access to SALT and OT, and be in an environment where other pupils and staff aren't at risk - he is very violent.
What do I need to 'prove' in order to get a place at a special school for him? What evidence do I need other than personal experience (DS1 only barely scraped though the same school and only got a dx because I pushed for it)?
Any urgent help much appreciated as we have 2 weeks to respond to the draft before they implement it.
TIA x
