Hi
My son is 11 and currently attends ms school. He has severe adhd global development delay sensory processing issues ocd and anxiety. He was assessed for asd as numerous drs and Ed psych's say he presents has having but camhs did an assessment and said no but they didn't contact school and get any reports from them or his speech therapist which I am told they should have done so I plan on asking for him to be reassessed in the future.
I have received his statement through today and spoke to our support worker from send. On the statement part 4 says actively seeking special school placement. I asked our support worker and she says this means they have finally accepted him for funding. We have been seeking this since he was 6.
The only thing is I don't know what happens now and who is supposed to be looking for his place. He is due to start high school in September and the only information I have been given is that it will be a high school placement no one seems to be able or want to tell me anything further. I have tried to contact his case worker at the Lea but we don't get on after an argument a couple of years ago. I told her she shouldn't treat children as statistics and treat then as young people with very real needs after she started quoting funding policies and statistics 
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

What happens now?

Just wanted to quickly post and say thank you again for the advice. Been to see the school I really wanted ds2 to go to today. It's gone really well. His name had already been put forward and they are happy to take him. An email has now been sent to lea to say we want ds2 to go there so it can be made official
