DS1 has a tribunal in May for parts 2, 3 and 4. Everything seems to be falling to pieces atm - head of my named school can't make the date and my IPSEA rep can't attend the hearing but is trying to find someone that can. The LEA have passed the case over to their legal team 'because I am being represented by IPSEA. I am having difficulty getting an indi EP who can report by the evidence deadline.
The NHS OT report is from 2009 and does not deal with sensory issues. DS1 saw Daphne Keen who diagnosed SPD on the basis of long-standing reported difficulties rather than a Sensory Profile questionnaire. IPSEA have said that there is a problem putting provision in part 3 without SPD being clearer in part 2 and that the provision should come from an OT.
If I need an indi OT report, so be it (more money ), in which case I would appreciate some advice how to go about this. My named school has given me the contact details of some OTs that have reported for children at the school but they are not local (the school is out of county). Is it worth paying the travel costs to get a particular therapist or is it OK to look locally?
