were only just starting the process of asking for assessment etc. Ive been told different stories by different professionals arpound here, does anyone know the answer or is it a different areas different approach thing..... We live right bang in the middle between two special schools both could happily meet ds's needs providing they obviously have places at the time of naming a school in the statement (i know theres still a chance the statement will be refused etc as were in nottinghamshire which makes life harder lol but presuming it isnt...). One school is 1.5 miles closer than the other (though both are around 14 miles away i think if i remember rightly). Now the educational psychologist insisists you have a catchment special school and thats the one further away (which i dont like at all really though must say would still prefer over mainstream), however the parent partnership say it merely is down to number of miles away in which case the one i love would be where local authority would prefer him to go due to distance! So, i know its early and we will find out in months to come etc if we get that far in the process, but who is right?? or are they both right?? they are both area special school covering a mixture of disabilities including asd's and as ds has autism he would definately have his needs met by both so im presuming that wouldnt really come into it. I know its ages away but its stressing me!! please help!
