So, we have just received a copy of DSS's proposed statement.
Obviously will have to re-draft lots of it as there's a lot of vague wording and pathetic amounts of SALT offered (and no OT). However, the main thing they have offered is 16 hours one-to-one per week.
DSS is autistic, academically able but working appallingly as he cannot focus, won't follow instructions and will only engage if he wants to (about 5% of the time - the rest of the time he's disruptive, doodles, scrawls nonsense, goes under the desk, licks other children etc).
So, just to get a sense of what's good and what's not, is 16 hours one-to-one a good outcome? Average? Is there such a thing as an average?
The proposed statement states that it will be for the headteacher to recruit the one-to-one (which seems good as HT has his head screwed on and is very aware of DSS's needs).
Any feedback very welcome. TIA.
