EHCP tips

[BlueMonday1977]

We are about to start the application for DD3.5 EHCP with her nursery.

Are there any things you wish you had known before you started the process?

Provide as much evidence as you can. e.g. hospital letters, GP letters, sensory assessments, ADHD/autism diagnosis, as much information about your child and behaviour/sensory needs from the nursery staff.

You can speak to your local SENDIASS for free advice too.
Good luck. 💐

When DS was 11 I got a solicitor involved- along with private reports that was the best decision as DS then finally had a worthwhile EHCP.

Except to get it rejected first time and then win it on appeal. It's ridiculously annoying and I think recent stars are some thing like 96% are won at appeal/tribunal.

Remember that it's a legal document so avoid phrases such " may be unable to..." and use ones like "cannot do".

*accept even.

Omg i meant expect. Sorry not long been awake 😂.
