Not sure I'll get any sleep tonight!!

[Dingle]

We have a meeting tomorrow with the LEA to discuss Amelia's proposed statement. The LEA have asked the Headteacher and the SENCo to attend so I am going to feel a bit out numbered. Thankfully, our IPSEA rep is coming down and attending with us.

I have just run through a few more pages of the statement and some of the many reports and I feel so unprepared.

I think I will be opening my heart again!!! Just so full of it all....not feeling stressed, just not able to ever switch off from it all IYSWIM. It has taken us a year almost to get this far and I am just so drained with it all.

Sorry, I know I shouldn't be negative, I need to find my strong woman's fighting hat, but I lost that ages ago!! Just need to vent really.

haven't gone thru this yet....but just wanted to wish you well!!!

Good luck with the meeting. Fingers crossed for you that it will go well. xxx

Good luck Dingle. I hope it goes well for you tomorrow. I'm glad the IPSEA rep is going with you.

WEll didn't go as well as I would have liked- we ran out of time! They had only allocated an hour to decide on Amelia's future!

The LEA are going to issue an amended proposed statement , making some of the changes we discussed- our IPSea rep wil go through it again with me and highlight any further changes we want to request and if necessary arrange another meeting within the timescale.

Basically they have agreed to up the hours from 15 to 20 hours on her statement. This in addition to the 6-10 hours she MUST get on school action +! (Got that wording changed too!)

Thought I was going to struggle getting lunchtime covered but the school said there was no quetion that she needed this is such an unstructured setting.

Got loads of little bits changed and things like activities to improve her auditory memory skills added....so all in all a good meeting.

Just waiting for the amended statement now to see exactly how productive the meeting actually was!!
