OK here goes - DS1 (ASD aged 10) had a speech and language assessment carried out through his mainstream school back in late Oct 10, fast forward to January and still no written report. Chased SENCO at school and was told they would chase up report, waited another couple of weeks spoke to SENCO again they said they have chased up twice and that the headteacher was also going to chase up which apparently they did (we are now talking mid Feb). Anway fast forward to today and fed up with waiting I made a phone call myself to speech and language dept. Spoke to a lady who was most helpful and told me the report was typed up and sent out mid January and that a copy was sent to school at that point. She was most apologetic that I wasnt sent a copy and has said she will send out today (Tues) first class, I have also said to her to send another copy to school which she said she will also do today. One of two things have happened:
a) the school received a copy and have been sitting on it
b) they genuinely didn't receive a copy mid January, however they obviously never bothered to chase it up on the four separate occasions that they said they had, evidenced by the fact that I had no problem whatsoever in obtaining a copy on my first attempt.
Please tell me the best way to proceed with this whilst trying to keep a cool head.
There is also a moral to this story in that if you want something done properly do it yourself! something that keeps coming back and biting me on the rear.
