Transition Review

[sweetteamum]

My DD is 13 and in an ASD indi SS.

I've just had a letter from the school regarding a transition review meeting in May.

I have no idea what to do, how to fill in the enclosed form in and if I should even be getting up to date assessments completed.

Any help would be really appreciated.

There are independent helpers/advocates available who are supposed to be able to help you with the forms!!

They are not meant to be just dumped on you! I would ring parent partnership or IPSEA and get advice!!

Good luck

You leave a message and they get back to you.

Is it transition to EHCP or transition because your indie school stops at 13?

Thank you both.

Ah, I just presumed this is how it worked.

Tbh none of those are the reasons. Think I'll have to check with school tomorrow.

I've just checked and it's a year 9 transition review

If he's in Year 9 then it ought to be a transfer review with a view to moving to an EHC Plan, and should be preceded by a reassessment. I'd suggest you ask the school to prepare reasonably detailed reports for the review and tell the LA you want them used for the purposes of the assessment.

Really? I had no idea. Think I'll need to possibly get things booked in from our end.

I'll obviously be speaking to the school about it anyway.

Thank you

reassessment still includes 'ed, med, soc, and psych +parents'
Educational by school
Medical eg paed or any other relevant
Social services where relevant
Educational Psychologist

I can't remember if there are extras under the new law, except that the new law is directed to 'best possible outcomes' and at Year 9 it will be more about long term plans towards independent living than it used to be.

IPSEA website will tell you this much better than I am
