Worried

[Youareyou96]

My child has Autsim and ADHD, along with tics.
He has been very part time at school for a long time now.
Has an EHCP and are now awaiting AP to start and is in need of specialist but as its so close to secondary now no one wants to let him start a new school to have to change in September.

He has a phobia of being sick he also feels pain extremely which doesn't help.
He is now avoiding food, all meat and now all fruit.
He is literally pulling all food into tiny pieces to eat them as well.
He does already see a councillor for his phobia and other things but Im really concerned now and was wondering if any parents have had this and what you did to help?

Have a look at ARFID.

What MH provision is in the EHCP? And is it being provided? What about sensory OT provision?

What placement is named in the EHCP now? Is your preferred secondary placement just secondary or is it an all-through school/have Y6 places? You should know the secondary placement by next month; if it has Y6 places, it is worth asking for it to be named for the remainder of Y6 too. Even if it doesn’t, DS could have an enhanced transition.

Unfortunately the provision that he will need only does secondary.
Nothing is being doing in his EHCP due to not being able to go to school to access it.
That is why an AP is being put into place which will have a mentor for mental health that will work with his interests along with a tutor and an outdoor sport.
He had OT for a while but that has finished and is not in his EHCP now.

I know DS isn’t able to attend school, and he is waiting for AP to start (how long have you been waiting? It sounds like it should have begun long before now.), but is there not other provision (particularly therapeutic provision) detailed, specified and quantified in F? The LA must still secure the content of F even if DS can’t attend school.

It sounds like the EHCP needs improving, so you should appeal.
