This report was commissioned by them! My daughter is having her EHC conversion and everyone knows that I am trying to get a change of provision. My daughter is 14, is severely autistic and with a number of other possible conditions. Her school has tried very hard to meet her needs (generic special school) but there is general agreement that while they can manage her and keep her reasonably happy, she is not really learning anything. She also has very challenging behaviours. The head of the school has been vocally supportive of my position but I doubt she would be able to put anything in writing.
The LA paid for an Ed Psych (not local) to assess my dd. The report has come back saying that she needs a class size of no more than 4, that the current classroom situation worsens her anxiety and that she needs ideally to have SALT and OT on site and that out of county provision should be considered and possibly residential. The LA representative turned up and said she doesn't agree with the report. I said 'why, because it doesn't say what you wanted it to?' We live in an area where the Ed Psych report pretty much rules out any local LA provision.
Has this happened to anyone else?
