Sorry about that had promised to help DS hang a spongebob poster up and he wouldnt wait any longer!!

Right, last night Ds said that he wants to go to the all singing all dancing new school thats opening in Sep and doesnt want to go to a smaller one.
This morning i found out that his old school are selling the new uniform on a Buy one get one free offer only until this afternoon.
£15 for 2 jumpers and 2 polo shirts which is good value.
So i decided to go and get them for him and he had to come with me as i have no minder for him, he was a bit anxious when we approached school as he hasnt been since Jan, so we went in a bought him his new uniform.
When we were coming out who should we see but the old Headteacher, so i paused for a moment and thought Yes, i went up to her with DS behind me and said in a loud voice "Oh look Mrs XXXXX, DS has bought his new uniform for his new school, he will have a better time there as they are more sensitive to his needs, isnt it exciting for him?"
She just stood there looking at me and nodded, Ds started giggling and i looked around and there were 4 teachers stood listening.
Then we walked off and she called "Bye DS"
Now, is that naughty?
I suspect it is but i couldnt resist after all she refused to attend meetings and blocked DS doing part time hours in the first place when all of his time out could have been avoided.
I feel tons better now though.

OMG well done you for being so brave and standing up for your sons needs. By law every school should now have an inclusive policy welcoming children with all special needs and each class teacher with direction from the teacher or department in charge of special needs should have an IEP or individual education plan outlining how they are incorporating your sons needs into their lesson plans the differentiation in taching styles methods equipment resources etc they are using simple targets for improvement for the child and how they are going to assess whether the targets have been met or not this is alongside literacy and numeracy IEPs which also have to be completed. I taught numerous children with varied special needs and remember having to do this and as my subject was food I had to adapt my room work stations and equipment used aswell as having different types of work available worksheets computer large print books etc for example I found children with adhd concentrated better on the pc using interactive methods. Its a shame that some teachers are still so negative to the policy of intergation and complain about all the extra written work and preparation that goes with it I think they forget that we are all individuals and therefore all learn differently and all have differing needs to achieve our best. I really hope you have made them sit up and think and that your ds does well at his new school but please keep being proactive know who the teacher responsible for special needs is ask if she has made the other staff who are going to be teaching your child are aware of his needs ask what has been done to accomodate his needs in every subject area and ask to see copies of IEPs and differentiated worksheets etc because you know better than anyone what will suit your child and also so that you can help him meet his targets with back up work at home good luck

I know it was naughty but im still chuckling some 7 hours later!!!

Thanks dreamydowler for that info, i will bear in mind everything you have said, PP phoned me today to tell me that the top lady at LEA is now on the case and she said thats all down to me!!
Dont know if she meant that in a good way or bad but i have kicked up a bit of a stink over the last few weeks, so we are having a meeting with the brand new SENCO in SEp and the manager of SEN and various other people and i have been promised that there will be support put in place for DS and that he is going to be integrated very slowly.

[emmalou78]

I think if tehy stick to their word and get your son itegrated suxcessfully with the right support inplace, then it doesn't matter how much od a stink you've kicked up, or whether you did it ina good or bad way, if you sat back and let the turdbrained eejits lead the way christ knows what state yur boy would be in now. Your a trouper Jenk you really are, good on ya!

[jenk1]

turdbrained eejits - love it!!!!

Me and DH have personal nicknames for everyone of the LEA who have given us hassle for not believing what we said all along about DS and putting everything on me and hinting at MSBP.

Well done Jenk for sticking to your guns through all of this, you're a real fighter who's never backed down, I only wish i had half of your strength, good on ya.
