Meeting tomorrow with LEA - telling them we going to tribunal

As the title says am having a meeting lunchtime tomorrow to confirm to our LEA that I am sick of going round in circles and am going to appeal so they can finalise their rubbish statement then can get my appeal in.

I have already done it in letter to them but they asked for a meeting and just to show I have been as reasonable as possible will attend but am not going to back down - unless they are able to suddenly give me the ASD unit for DS.

They have stated that he needs an ASD unit/ learning support centre but can give me no idea when a place will be available. DS has just turned 7 and will be in year 3 this september and I can see him slipping further behind unless he gets a suitable placement.

Any advice on what to expect tomorrow, sure they are going to do their best to put me off going but I have been told by SNAP that I have a strong case so although very nervous about it all know I am doing the right thing.

Any hand holding very welcome, thanks x

Thank you Agnes I really appreciate your advice, it is very useful. I think I will speak to an education lawyer before I finally agree on any offer.

Right got some work to do haven't I? Will also start a new thread too as suggested.

Thanks x
