ds1's EHCP has just been finalised against our wishes. Please tell me if the below is as bad as I think it is & if you would bother appealing. Whilst his support is OK currently he might want to go somewhere different for sixth form (in eighteen months time) so need his EHCP to be clear.
Summary of Needs
Overarching needs relating to social, emotional well being and behaviour
To recognise and manage feelings of anxiety and identify stressors. XXX to utilise his own strategies but also to be supported by cognitive behavioural approach. The school environment to be managed to reduce potential stress where possible for xxxx.
Opportunities for xxxx to have positive interactions with his peers and to gain a sense of belonging.
XXX is sensitive to sounds and he is distracted by lots of noise.
Difficulties following or remembering instruction with too much noise.
XXX can react negatively to the taste and texture of food.
He can be sensitive to the taste and texture of food.
He can over or under dress for the temperatures
He dislikes haircutting / shampooing and his nails being cut.
Autistic Spectrum
Emotional, Social and Behavioural difficulties
Social Communication Difficulties
Poor Social Interaction skills with adult and peers
Rigidity of Thought
Lack of Empathy
Sensory Issues
Stress and Anxiety
Autistic Spectrum Disorder
The rest is in similar vein and I might add he does not do and never has done any cognitive behaviour therapy. What strikes me now on copying it out is the total lack of comment with respect to academic support which was in his original statement (sorry should have said this was a transfer of statement to EHCP).
