DS is due to start September 2008, so I need to apply by end Nov 2007. He has severely delayed speech and understanding. However he has no diagnosis as yet, he isn't due to be seen by joint clinic (SALT/paed/ed psych) until Jan 2008.
Other than looking at Ofsted comments on SN provision, and phoning up the school to get a feel for how they deal with SN, what other advice do you have for choosing a school? Ideally I want DS to go to a language unit (the city has 4) but I cant apply directly to one (or assume that he will be given a place) so need to apply for mainstream schools. I will almost certainly be applying for a statement for him - should I mention this to schools when I apply or not?
Any advice welcomed gratefully.
