Anyone fought the school and won?

[tiptoes]

Following on from my thread about my disagreement with the school on keeping my selectively mute DS in reception along with 3 other special needs children instead of moving him up to year one to be with the peers he has started to talk to,has anyone fought againest the schools decision and won?

Am running out of time due to end of term to resolve this and would value anyone elses experiences and whether it would damage relations with the school in the future?

Peachy-Have just checked out the website,very helpful thanks.

I have e mailed him to see if he deals with selective mutism.

Have you dealt with him before?

Peachy-Sorry to be dumb,but how does Adrian Phillips service work?
Do you pay a fee as to what advice he gives?

He said he has varying things he can do to help,a nd the fees vary too. He'sa lso good at knowing where you can claw back money- in the hour I spoke to him, he'd sorted out careres allowance backdated.

I haven't dealt with him before, however the lady from the National Autistic Society recommended him, and he ahs a Sn child himself.

I have heard of AP through ABA connections. I think he did a program with his child and branched out into working in SN. Have always heard good things about him.

Thanks Peachy and Davros.

Took ds to school this morning,first day back and I had to stay with he him for about an hour,he was very clingy and anxious.When I left he was crying out and grabbing hold of me ,took 2 teachers to try and calm him down.Feel really awful about leaving him,rang back and they said he was ok now.By coincidence or not another little boy with SM got really distresed also and his mother stayed for awhile as well.
This is what I would fear would happen.DS usd to love school and had no problems going.
He did'nt recognise any of the other children and the other mother said her son was looking round for familiar faces,he also was in reception last year and staying back with my ds.

The teacher then went on to say in front of the whole class "come on you two,are you going to be brave and let your mum's go home"
DS had settled so well with his other peers and they created this situation.I was fuming,I knew this would happen and it was avoidable if they had listened to me and the professionals in the first place.

Have been on to the LEA and am dropping in some letters from the SALT tomorrow and spoke to childrens services and she said she would try and arrange a meeting with the school and the professionals.
