I still can't believe it!
Today, I took DD1 to have her wedding dress fitted. In the full-length mirrors in the fitting room, I caught sight of myself. I look a thousand years older than 18 months ago.

Best news I've had all day!
If ever there's a moment for champagne, this is it - a grim alternative future for your DS has just disappeared, and it couldn't have disappeared without you fighting tooth-and-nail to keep it at bay...

Thank you to everyone on this board. A particularly big thank you to everyone who virtually held my hand over the total nightmare over the last 7 days.
You are all incredible women who have kept me going through some of my darkest hours.

On the champagne at the moment so sorry if my msg comes over a bit hicuppy! (Although I have no idea why champagne is needed to celebrate the fact that I've proved how severely disabled my son is! )
Judge overwhelmingly has found that the LA school could not meet need. My son has many needs but the judge found that severe dyslexia is the overriding need and that the LA's mainstream school with a speech & language unit could not meet all his needs - particularly dyslexia. And even with bought-in provision, the school wouldn't be able to integrate it all.
It is a very detailed Decision and I'm more than happy with it. I am very happy that judge particularly thanked the head of the speech unit for being such a credible witness. I never had a problem with this particular person, I found her very very professional and told that to the judge (literally). She was just one more pawn in this terrible game that LAs play.
Cost didn't come into it at all. My son's need over-rode everything else.
So my son will be going to a specialist dyslexia school in Suffolk
Son is over the moon. He and DC2 (grownup!) are now having a David Tenant/Dr Who DVD fest!

WOWIE TOWIE I knew you would do it!
So pleased for you - they took their bloody time!
I am going through a tribunal myself soon so I may be after some tips.
