Sorry I just need to let off steam really! Anyone with words of wisdom?
I am trying not to get ahead of myself.
DS is 8, ASD diagnosis (aspergers) in mainstream primary. Pretty severe eating problems which is the main reason he has a diagnosis at this age. School haven't seen his difficulties - either before or after diagnosis.
It's always been "no you won't get an EHCP" "too able for EHCP" "his issues are mild" etc etc. But I thought "yeah well you try walking a mile in my shoes mate!" and applied myself ........and lo..... the LA agreed to assess. The school are shocked - well I was a bit surprised TBH!
Agree to Assess came at right on time at 6 weeks. We've spent 5 weeks waiting for reports (we supplied a lot of info so thing it is only the LA EP doing one) and their deadline is next week. The LA seem to be efficient and proceeding on schedule.
Now our case handler has been saying things like "when we start drafting" and looking ahead to "the co-oproduction stage"...... now that we are getting closer I am wondering if it could really be possible that DS will get some proper help?!
I'm excited that an EHCP is so close - and scared that is still might not happen! [Confused]. We've had a hideous 3 years where things have been really hard going.... Now that things are looking up, how do I keep my cool for the next 4-6 weeks?
