I've a son (6) in year 2 almost year 3. He was born a day before cut off for years in school. SO he's very young in comparison to others in his class.
Since birth he has had development issues, speech and language as well as sleep apnea and enlarged tonsils (all his life). At 3 months he was ventilated as he wasn't taking enough oxygen.
So now, he's got hyper mobility and has flat foot. This is being sorted after many attempts to get him seen. He still has ongoing speech issues, talking the same as a baby/toddler. Always had difficulty. We had SALT involved for 2. He was taught Makaton. Last year we relocated and since starting a new school he's senco has done next to nothing. It took me contacting our local SALT team with all previous documentation for him to be seen as senco doesn't see an issue.
Yesterday he attended an appointment about his mobility and was asked several questions in regards to development, movement, language etc. He is severely behind in school still working at EYFs level. When the Dr asked why he hasn't got an EHCP I explained that his senco works 2 days a week 10-2 and doesn't have the time to assess all children. He said you need to push. I explained I work in the school and he laughed and said "if that doesn't even give the upper hand then no parent will have any luck".
My main question is this - my senco is obviously not helping and clearly something needs to be done for him to be supported in school on top of that, redundancys are being made across the school which means no more speech interventions or nurture. So my child will have no aid at all.
What can I do?
I appreciate any and all support you can give me so I can help my child progress at school.
