Hi,
I haven't been on this board for years so please excuse me not being up to date.
I need some advice if anyone is going through this as well.
DD1 starts mainstream primary in Sept. Will have ECHP with SALT, OT and 1-1 TA.
We were told we'd have personal budget for SALT and OT so we can carry on with our private therapists (who are actually getting somewhere). Now told as council has contract with Virgin for these services we cannot have budget and have to accept their therapists.
Plus we cannot appeal this point.
So we can appeal how many hours of therapy she gets but not who provides it.
After disastrous council SALT before we are keen not to repeat but also finances mean we cannot keep paying privately indefinitely.
Therapists all say their training on new EHCP was that parents would hold budgets.
Anyone in the same boat? Any advice on next step?
