Hi i am new to mums net, so if i get the link wrong please advise me?
My daughter is 14 years old and was going to sit her GCSEs this year. Unfortunatly she suffers with Complex regional pain syndrome, which effects mainly her ankles legs and hands. This means she is in constant pain and can on some days make it impossible for her to weight bare at all and use her hands to write. because her condition has deterioated since september she has been unable to attend school. The school which she attends and social services want her to be classified as unfit to attend school in order for her to access home tutoring.
Dispite me highlighting my conserns; that she would be totaly house bound, socialy isolated and cut off from her friends because she lives in a rural area; they took no notice. They could not tell me either how many hours she would be tought. all my daughter requires to get an education is an appropriate wheelchair which the NHS can not supply and we can not afford, someone to help support her in school and someone to teach her at home on the days when she can not weight bare. because this type support is not available in the county of devon, my daughter lays on the sette each day socially isolated cut off from her friends and unable to access an education. Can anyone advise? :)
