We have a proposed statement and a meeting with the lea officer this week. As expected it is very wishy washy in terms of what is reqi=uired although surprisingly they have not put his speech and language problems in part 5 as I thought they might.
However, they have not specified how much provision he should have in terms of salt etc The NHS therapist says her direct involvment should be a least termly. Our private salt report says direct salt should on a weekly basis (with indirect support being offered by school daily).
His statement just says a programme should be put in place by salt etc etc with no mention of time etc. I onbviously wilkl challenge this but what do I ask for. Nhs and private salt recommending different levels of involment> How do I convince them that private salt is correct?
Also there is no mention at all of spd. The OT report looks like it has been totally ignored (private). She recommended weekly OT with sensory diet being put in place at school etc etc, now of this is mentioned. How do I tackle this? Is it that they are (ignoring!) less likely to follow advice in private reports?
His statement does say he will get ''Ancillary adult support to a minimum of 27.5 hours per week child support assisstance time that can be used in whole class, small group or individual basis''.
Does this mean he will have a ta full time?
Also it then syas when setting targets, the specific provision of hours of teaching/non-teaching support may be subject to adjustment in order to be flexible to the puils changing needs.
Do I need to be wary of this sentence. The cynical side of me thinks this may allow them toreduce etc his number of hours of support with formal review. Any advice here?
Thanks again and sorry for all the questions
