Received the pre draft last week and the planning meeting was today. It went well and I got everything changed/added/taken off that I wanted even though it was a bit of a nightmare at times because of the SENCO from his new nursery The SEN officer said at the end that he'll definitely be getting the EHCP and that she'll be issuing the draft on Monday. So all that needs doing now is checking the draft, getting anything changed if it needs doing, and then it'll be finalised.
So, while I'm really pleased, I'm also a bit upset. I was expecting much more of a fight and it's actually gone really smoothly. We're actually on course to finalise before 20 weeks! Although I am expecting a lot more problems when it comes to naming a school.
I think it's made me realise just how many problems he has. All the reports have thrown up so many things that I saw as 'just DS'. Now I realise that he's got a much bigger struggle ahead than I thought.
I spent so long trying to get people to listen to me but I think at the back of my mind I had this hope that I was wrong. And I can't do that now - it's all been seen and is down on paper.
Sorry - think I just needed to get that off my chest. Feeling sad this evening
