DS5 (8yrs) has autism w/adhd, brain injury, dyspraxia and hypermobility. Very ambulant. Very verbal. very young, socially clueless.
school (ms) get mid-funding for him. he has TA several sessions a day (was awarded 19hrs LOL) had portage when young, salt for around 6yrs. Hes a bit of a handful - but loveable (i can tell his teachers have a real soft spot for him). He currently comes home at lunch - he was getting into trouble through social inadequacy, and it helps enormously with his energy levels and coping better after lunch with a time-out.
12wks ago it was suggested by teacher (without heads knowledge) to ehcp (maybe she was having a bad day). I took a couple of weeks and agreed (theres no way hes going to manage ms senior). 9wks ago i asked for it to go ahead. 2wks ago was told that first stage for them (C&I team before EdPsych) was refused. she will try to appeal, then try again june 'springboard' if refused.
Should i just get the procedure going? write the first letter? the school have given everything ive asked for so far, and on the face of it been truthful to me.... it just niggles that actually they arent actually doing the thing to organise an EHCP. will it do more harm to relations with school than actually doing any good towards EHCP??? i dont know...
