ds is assessed as functioning within normal cognitive range but due to a range of issues (tbc but broadly speaking severe verbal and all over dyspraxia) is not functioning at mainstream level.
he has been at a special school for his original diagnosis of asd which is now called into question and has made no academic progress, although SLT has.
so now considering a mixed placement with a few days in mainstream for tha academic and social challenge and a few days in special to get in the therapy needed
another option I wondered about is to persuade the tribunal to get my own therapists (ot slt and physio) who understand DS very well linked into a mainstream placement and I wondered if anyone had achieved this
looking for thoughts and opinions on this please.
