help! dd, hypermobile removed from iep without consultation with parents.

is this allowed?
I need pointing in the right direction to find out what I can ask the school for. she still needs support but has made improvements because of the input school has been giving (and equipment) and because of occupational and physio therapy.

re-post on the special needs children section. What they don't know about IEPs and your rights is truly mind blowing.
My first thought is that you need to discus asap before the end of term, so that a the revised IEP is up and running in September.
Also remember that IEPs are not obligatory in schools - maybe the school has switched systems and are using another record for recording progress. Best to find out from school.

DD is hyper mobile and is starting school in sept. She is not getting an IEP but she is having four sessions a week in OT from the specialist OT TA in the EYFS.

Are they stopping her support???

don't know simpson,. they mentioned it casually after school with no details when I asked about talking to the new class teacher.

Grrrrr, I know about the mentioning casually thing.

I was in the nursery picking DD up the other day and a TA came over to me and said she is doing 4 sessions a week with DD to do some OT. But the school have said she does not need an IEP. TBH I am happy with what they are offering (as long as it actually happens).

I would make an appt to speak to the teacher or the SENCO tbh and see what they say. It might be that things are continuing as they are in that she is still getting the support but she does not have an actual IEP iyswim.

yes, I am hoping that is so.

I am going to go back to the dr and get a referral because of the pain in her hips. she has told granny that it always hurts. if she gets a diagnosis f hypermobility syndrome it will help with the supporrt.

ds is just starting school and is being assessed for asd, dd is hypermobile. there are a lot of balls to juggle

Has she not been diagnosed with hyper mobility then?? I know she has it but maybe the school don't know officially (clutching at straws).

I got stopped in the playground today by the HT when I was picking DS up and she has requested a meeting the week before DD starts to go through what extra help she will need.

My DS's school have just done the same thing to DS2, who also has hypermobility syndrome (fully dxd when he was 7mo!!). He has other issues too, and is still a good 2-4 sub-levels behind in all areas, and more in writing. From what info I have had back in a letter from the school SenCo (not allowed an appointment as he is no longer on SA...) it is to do with there being new 'floors' on the levels they have to be on to stay on SA.

So it is more to do with the Government 'downgrading' SA/SA+ and trying to get rid of them entirely than it is about your individual school refusing your DD help...

Gove is a twat.

gove is not the only one

What do you mean by that?

Couthy - they are spinning you a line. There are no rules about which children should or shouldn't be on SA.

It is all up to the school's discretion.

The govt has not downgraded SA (yet)
