After mondays meeting where the LEA say they are not accepting DS dx from our private psych i started thinking.
So, yesterday i phoned PP and told them what had gone on and told them that i was aware that what they had said re our psych was illegal and that i had had enough and was considering taking legal action as they have done nothing but mess us around for a year, she said she would phone the LEA immediately.
An hour later the PP lady phoned and said she had spoken to the lady and that the lady said "when i got back to the office on Monday, i did some checking around and i have since discovered that mr XXXXXXX is a very highly regarded professional and we will accept his dx, and that jenk1 has completely taken my worlds out of concept because i never implied that a statement wouldnt be written without an nhs dx"
She is a barefaced liar and both me and DH and the psych heard her say that she wouldnt be writing a statement without an NHS dx, PP tried to smoothe things over by saying that the LEA lady "hadnt realised" so i said that if the LEA dont realise who are supposed to know SEN law inside out what hope is there for the rest of us?
I also told the PP lady that should the LEA turn DS down for a statement that we would go straight back to SENDIST, and she said "i dont think they will turn him down as they realise that you will take this all the way to tribunal, thats the vibes im picking up"
Our psych has told us that he doubts DS will make it back into the new school full time and that we are looking at a special school for him, he said that will have to go to tribunal but that he is 100% certain that we will win as the LEA have shot themselves in the foot too many times.
And now nursery are making assessment noises about DD so we will have to go through all this again, i havent told the LEA lady that we have a DD with SN, ill save that for when DS is sorted out.
Phew.......... you will need a cup of tea after reading all this!!!!!
