As title says. It took me three appeals at every stage over two years to get my son his statement. His AR is next week.
OT has gone from saying he will never write and needing pen grips - learning to touch type to being conmpletly ok. In clinic a year ago I was told his writing was bearly functional but I never had a score ( due to pressure from LA I guess) and I doubt it's been tested since. OT needs to attend the AR as it's stated in the statement - she isn't coming. He's dyspraxic.
Same with his speech. It's all in normal range, except the area he has a disorder in - which they they haven't provided scores for.
What to do? His statement was crap, the school didn't follow it either. I know the reports have been dumbed down as you don't recover back to normal if you had dyspraxia and language disorders diagnosed years before.
Do I give up now? Every year will be the same crap of fighting to keep it. I have contacted a private SLT school to see if they think he has needs in range that they would take on.
But I'm torn, if he goes to a specialist school it will cut down his gcse choices but up his chances of passing anything.
Maybe he really is cured? Is that isn't total BS they maybe I should forget it and ask for assesment again if he struggles moving to secondary (he's 9 now) but the problem with that is that it took me over two years to appeal before. I would be lucky to get a EHCP again before he starts his GCSEs.
I have a younger boy with ASD who is five and non verbal so I have to pick my appeal battles as it's expensive to appeal
