I have had a meeting at school, teacher was supposed to be telling me more about DS's needs and more so what they are doing to help him.
I got there and SENco was also present, and as i was alone this time they went on at me hard.
DS has no additional needs. In fact other children in the classroom who have no DX nor identified needs are doing less well than him.
DS can talk, understand, interact, play with his peers just fine. He has very good imagination when playing games with others, he has no sensory issues, he is very bright,... i won't carry on you get the idea.

Each time i said something i was being contradicted by them. I said black they said white.
I asked what about all the evidence in all the professionals 'reports and his dx report, well the answer was yes he has a dx of asd but they don't see he has extra needs at school.

They have not written up a new IEP as he simply is doing so well in all areas.
EP who is going shortly after half-term will be going in to observe to see if she does see any needs and then advise re:IEP.
EP who hasn't seen DS since last november has said to senco on the phone that despite his dx of autism and speech and lang.disorder his needs are very mild anyway.
I'm sure nothing will come out from her going in to see him after half-term.

I don't know what to do anynmore. My hands are tied, DS has a two dx that serve no purpose.
I cannot handle the stress anymore. Just phoned DH up and told him about the meeting, he had a go at me for not standing my ground, he said they are lying and blamed me for being fobbed off by them.

I'm giving up. Sad

Hey genie, that's a big step forward from your op..:)

keep going at it because you are THE person who can do what is needed for your ds..

I am glad you have made a step forward. It took a phon call to PP to get me back on track with school to, although school don't know I have spoken to PP. If you get someone who knows what they are talking about it can make all the difference. You have to keep the momentum going now, don't let the school think you are not going to keep nagging away at them. And don't do what I did and wait for them to arrange the next meeting because it will probably never happen.
