I'm so happy, his now going to go to a school that will help his needs.

So glad this is over, but I know I have many fights in the future.....

Now I can fully concentrate on my exams.

Thank you mums netters, as I said previously, I would not of done all of this without the incredibly knowledge you all bring to the special needs board.

Well done! So pleased for you and your DS plus and

Thanks very much pannetone!

That is absolutely fantastic news !!!!!
You are so very young and you should be very proud of what you have achieved for your DS ...well done !!!!

Fantastic news! Absolutely well done you - you really are an inspiration.

bloody hell that was quick! im still waiting... how did you find out Adrianna - was it by post or email?

congratulations!!! im so so so pleased for you xxxx

Hi everyone, thanks very much.

We heard by email ineedpatience. I assume it was quick because I only had one panel member as oppose to two.

wow, that is really terrific news. Well done you!

OMG!!! Amazing news!!! Did they say yes to your school? This gives me hope too

Wow, brilliant!

Yes 2boys they agreed to put down the independent special school in part 4 of his statement.

YAY!! Well done you!!

Fantastic

Excellent - well done

Oh adrianna22 I probably sound like a patronising old mare but I'm so incredibly proud of you! - lol

Your child is SO lucky. You fought an exceptionally vindictive opponent. Let's hope they leave you in peace now.

Well done!

Aww thanks StarLight.. and you don't! No need to worry and thanks everyone too.

To be really honest, the LA didn't really have a case and after visiting so many special schools, I knew the majority of special schools in my LA cannot meet DS need and I have a feeling the LA had trouble finding one.

Did you represent yourself, or did you have help from anyone?

That's fantastic news, well done!

Well done fantastic result!

Brilliant news!! Your win is further proof that it is not just the most complex children with LAs with water-tight cases that go all the way to tribunal and then wait for the ruling. Some LAs seem to have blanket policies (esp indi in part 4) that determine whether or not they go to tribunal.

Good luck with your exams. Other students will be stressing about them but I'm sure that they will be a piece of piss in comparison - maybe you should thank your LA for making you stronger

Well done adrianna. I was waiting to hear your news as our struggles have been so similar. Congratulations again
