Ok, HELP!!!!

[emmalou78]

The LEA are obviously feeling super speedy, I got the proposed statement this AM.

And the goals they want the provision [preschool] to meet are fanatastic, so long as he's in the right setting, and I know in my heart that he's not. They're proposing a TA for 10 hours a week, thats brilliant now - he's in preschool 12.5 hours a week, but what about january? or do I have ot start the whole frigging process again, or call for an emergency review, because 10 hours when he's fulltime is not going to be enough in mainstream.....

But thres section 4 and I can choose a school. Problem is tomoorows end of term, and i don't know if I can getto look round, I've seen the website nad frankly base don that I'm happy.. should I name it?

because at the end of the day 10 hours additional support in a small SEN school [2-19 year olds, maximum 165 pupils thats what an average of 10 per year group?]would be brilliant.

I suddenly don't know what to do, they have at least agrred he needs support eh! but seeing it in black and white, has hit home quite hard especially when last week ds1 had his report and he couldn't be any brighter if he was nuclear.

I know you can't tell me what I should do, but faced with teh choiuce, what would you do.

sorry about the spelling.

DS's first statement was at age 3 when he ws in nursary. his statemtn funded 10 hours of support.

when he went to school full time the school asked for a review and they agreed to increase the funding to his current 24.5 hours.
its virtualy full time 1:1 funding.

i think your right to question the amount being offered as it is so close to him going full time, it may just be a red tape thing but if you dont make a fuss they certainl wont make any effort to change it.

I have decided to approach this from the angle of he is about to start primary school, by the time the statement comes into effect the work towards transition and integration will have started, and the hand over to the next level of outside support will have begun, come december we lose the SSPCSN and our SALT hands over to the SALT team dealing with Peadiatric SN, still based at the same office but it won't be our lovely SALT

if I take the elijahs best interest approach couple with whole bypassing hte need to call an early review just weeks after its gone final thing I'm hoping they'll og 'oh well of course thats fine'
