I am beginning to think that I won't be able to get reports from an indi EP and SALT before my hearing date - both have said they can't see DD til the end of May. I haven't put in my appeal yet but I have to by Feb 23rd. if I get a tribunal date only 3 months ahead of putting the appeal in that will take us to the end of May - which is when the reports are being done.
Is it possible to request a tribunal date not until the (say) the end of June so that I can get the indi reports done? How inportant is it to have indi reports at the refusal to assess stage?
And 'circumstances' in my DD's case have changed - she has been off school entirely for more than 2 weeks now, her attendance is below 80% and falling, and it is evident that it is going to take some time to 'integrate' her back into school - she has today managed 20 mins in a room with the door shut with a TA and me there - she is nowhere near ready to go back into class. Presumably I put this in my appeal - will that count as 'evidence' for my appeal or increase the chance that the LA will change their minds and assess? (hopeful)
