Amelia has a little friend who also has DS.She used to go the SNN with him but now we only see him really at SALT as we share the cost of our private sessions.
He is due to start mainstream school in September and his mum has just got a draft copy of his statement.
In general it just seems very vague and my friend is concerned about the amount of help actually offered. The scholl is taking him on a 6 week trial period only so she feels apprehensive about it all obviously.
For example it says things like;
X will benefit from SALT.
X will benefit from sitting in a brightly lit area!!
Should a statement give details of how often, how long "additional" work /therapies should take place?
I have given her the details of IPSEA, but I don't have any more advice to offer her!
