I'm so angry at them for wasting my time like this, the ahead said he wanted to speak with another Head (who has ABA running in their school), so I look for one, speak to him and pass his details on and it turns out our ahead didn't even bother to call him??? He just reached a decision it out even meeting my consultant.??
I know it's his school and he can do what he likes but bloody hell, I don't get a say in what intervention my child should get?
He said that they are successful with the team that they currently have, that's SALT who will have 1 session a week (probably work on the turn taking shit that they've been doing for 6months at nursery), ed psychologist (theist ed psychologist was a nice man, but other than scribbling a few things on his notebook and commenting on how lovely my child is-he has zero input in her development) and someone from a special school who helps out with behavioural management.
Am I unreasonable to tell them I do not want any input from this lady from special school?? I've no time for her wishy washy intervention tbh.
The LEA have given us some funding until November for me to use for ABA a home whilst we work it out with school.
Fiona has said to not bother going to tribunal as the LEA have given us money that my dd is actually not entitled to (it was a typo on their part) and because she doesn't have a learning disability and is considered "hfa", itll be hard to prove that ABA is the only intervention that will work for her.
Our next compromise will be to train their LSA and have my consultant to in once a month to help them in behavioural targets and for us to continue ABA at home, but I have a funny feeling they'll say no to that as well.
Arrrggghhhh
