Any help with this would be appreciated. Had a letter this morning saying our request for a statutory assessment for DD2 had been turned down. We are seeking a statement and are supported by her consultant, SALT, Physio and the school where we plan to send her in Sept 2009.
She is 2 and 7 months, has T1 Diabetes and wears an insulin pump 24/7, she has moderate speech delay, mobility issues and we recieve higher rate DLA.
I would be very interested to hear of others experience with this, I knew it would be a fight but thought she would at least be assessed. Another child in another neighbouring borough has similar needs to DD2 and had a statement on entering Reception. Is the system completely arbitary? A case of the parent that shouts the loudest?

Turned down for a statutory assessment. Should we go to SENDIST appeal?
