Thinking of applying for SA again, feeing rusty

[claw4]

Over a year ago went to Tribunal and lost. Since that time, school have used this as an excuse to give ds even less help.

School told Tribunal that ds had all this wonderful help in place, for example that his IEP is termly - he hasnt had an IEP since FEB 2011 (since Tribunal)

SALT/OT had termly planning meetings with SENCO and ds had programmes, when in fact there were none. The school dont ever have meetings with any OT and ds did not have a SALT programme.

That ds had a mentor programme, he didnt.

Anyhow, school would say again that they are meeting his needs from within their budget and he is making good progress.

Last Tribunal they produced no documents of progress and then after tribunal produced false documents ie they backdated IEP's to cover the lie they told during Tribunal. They even put into writing that they didnt have meetings with OT and ds did not have a mentor programme. I have evidence of this.

So how can i apply for SA on the grounds that ds isnt making progress?

Would the best way of showing this be to get private SALT, OT, EP assessments done again now, to compare to the private assessments i had done a year ago?

Exactly Becaroo, academics hasnt really been the difficulty for ds, if their levels are correct it is great progress. Im assuming his communication, anxieties, social, sensory difficulties etc are responsible for his spiky profile.

I dont stand much chance and i agree private is the only way to go, large loan here i come! Thanks for all your help and listening to me, trying to work this out in my own head, out loud x

IME if academic progress is good then schools put blinkers on to any other other problems, whether they be sensory, social, expressive language etc.

Very best of luck claw

If you would like to PM me I can give you some info on therapies that have really helped ds1 if you are interested.
