My DD was diagnosed with Asperger's in the Summer. She is 14, and in year 10 so is doing GCSEs.
I sent the report to the SENCo and have chased her up a few times about what can be put in place for DD. I've not had any response apart from something negative - i.e., the SENCo informed me via her assistant that DD does not warrant assessment by an Ed Psych. (the report said such an assessment would be useful at some point, rather than strongly recommending it ASAP so the SENCo has cottoned onto that).
I've emailed requesting a face to face meeting before half term (I emailed Thursday - no response as yet) because perhaps sitting down together is the best way forward. I have spoken to the local communication disorders team - they apparently come out to support teachers with children with ASD - but they told me my first port of call is the school SENCo so I'm back to square one.
What I would like to know is, what is the policy about partnership with parents for secondary schools? There is a LOT laid down about this for Early Years but it doesn't seem to be the case for secondary - can anyone please point me in the right direction, so that if nothing else, I can remind the SENCo that it is her duty to involve me as parent (assuming that is actually the case)!
