Not sure if i am posting this in the right place but thought i would give it a go.
Our daughter is 6 and dyslexic(although we havent had an official assessment). We have had to fight for everything we have got for her so far and have become very involved by stamping our feet and finding out how to work the system(or what there is of one!). We have just been given our IEP from a meeting with the teacher 5 weeks ago and on each of the three targets we are detailed as on of the people giving the intervention as well as the the teacher and ta`s. I dont remember ever agreeing to all this, only one of them, and am starting to feel like they are trying to shove all the work onto us as parents. I want to do as much as i can for my daughter and am open to doing additional work but i have three children and one possibly with asperges and a business to run so my time is limited. What should my involvement be- should i be doing anything? Help- any information from other parent would be much appreciated

A Christian shop may be accomodating, or another religious premises?

WO,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I don't have a SEN child myself just working 1:1 with a MLD child. I want her to be able to live a normal life once... I feel that at many SEN topics people tend to concentrate on "how to educate SEN children" but who will employ them is less emphasised.
YES. It would be nice to find those mainstream firms that are prepared to cope with a bit of reasonable accommodation. I knew about Oxfam only.

WofflingOn · 11/11/2012 14:28

Anita, it depends on the company and the level of disability. Round my way, Oxfam have a very good record of employing teenagers and adults with SN, as do Sainsbury's. All companies have a disability discrimination policy that they must adhere to, but what are you looking for exactly?
For example, are you meaning sheltered and supported workshops? Or mainstream firms prepared to cope with a bit of reasonable accommodation?

anitasmall · 11/11/2012 14:23

Hi Everybody,

I already asked at many SEN topics but I still don't know the answer. Do you know any employers that are willing to employ adults with MLD?... What will you do if your children will grow up?...

Thanks
