just had a meeting at my ds mainstream school, he has not been at school for nearly 3mths as the school put him on school action plus at a local centre which has proved to be a good thing as very local to me, at first it was only for 6wks but got this extended whilst we waited to see if ds got into a special school, he did not get into the ss & now the school say for him to go back there! ds who is 13 & has a dx of asd does not want to go back & is extremly upset, a member of staff from the referral unit came with me to this meeting & said how well ds was coping with smaller groups & want him to stay there a while longer, in the meantime i asked the senco worker at the mainstream school that i wanted ds to have a statement as 2 other local schools have asd units in them but to access them ds will need a statement & also to access the transport, the senco worker said no, as the council will not give a statment of needs but i said how do you know if you dont try?? she also said there is a lack of medical evidence for a statement but i get dla so there must be medical evidence!!! i think the senco worker is talking bullshit, what i would like to know is how do i apply for a statement of education myself?
