SEN review (year 9)

Has anyone got any tips for a secondary school SEN review? Dc2 (year 9) has his on Wednesday and I just know it's going to be the same as the last 2 where I come in having done loads of research and it's just a tick box exercise with a bit of head tilting thrown in.

Sometimes I feel that the school send department were only interested in him when he had a meltdown in the middle of maths (year 7) or tried to kill himself (year 8). I know I'm lucky that he doesn't do that kind of thing every day.

I wish I knew how to help him. He doesn't want anything that makes him look different, keeps insisting he is fine etc. I can't even hug him like I do with my other dc because he screams like he is being murdered if anyone even accidently touches him. His official diagnosis is ehlers danlos syndrome type 3 (hypermobility type) with sensory issues and autistic traits.
