S&L targets

hello,
Just a quick one.do you think it is normal or strange for Ds's1-1 not to have a copy of his targets? DS is 5, has autism,is in mainstream with 1-1 support.his school buy in a private SALT who visits every two weeks(really good I know).
I asked yesterday for his most recent targets and was told she will give them to me as soon as she could get into the Senco's office(meetings all day).
Well,I would have hoped that she would have had a copy herself seeing as she is supposed to be doing the work with him.I want to question this tomorrow but have to be really careful how I word it/what I say(as 1-1 is very sensitive and has a habit of feeling criticised when I am merely asking questions about what my son gets up to).
I must add that I am really happy with the school,feel the support he gets is good,he is making good progress and has made good friends.
But I don't see the point of having S and L targets if they are not being worked upon.
Sorry,didn't end up being such a short one after all!

Why couldn't she just tell you what there are in any case?
I'm an s/lt and could tell you broadly what our targets are for every child I know and work with and there are more than 100 of them.

I did ask her what they were but she was a bit vague(was in his home/school book).I asked whether he had new targets and whether they were long or short term and she said long term 'something to do with sentence structure and conversation,I think'.hence I asked to see the targets.will ask tomorrow as haven't had a chance to see her this week.
I don't feel it's a huge issue but I guess it's making me question whether the support is as good as I think.he is certainly making progress but details of the day is getting less and less in the home/school book.
It seems the more relaxed I am,the more relaxed they get.

'It seems the more relaxed I am,the more relaxed they get.'

That's something to tihnk very hard about.
I don't think you should ever relax (unfortunately) if you have a child with extra needs.
