I don't know if I'm wrong for this opinion but my son has adhd it seems to me that it's still stereotyped as being a naughty boy thing (I have asd and adhd as a 46yo mum) I am in process of complaining to education ofsted and governors because my sons basic needs haven't been met and have been dismissed by senco

Yea same for me luv he has speech delay and being in reading writing spelling he is 2 years behind his peers in school so he has been neglected he is in year 6 starting this September and his subjects are for year 4 and since myself had concerns they are putting him in a smaller group setting with senco teacher and a main teacher was fuming as they only mentioned this after I complained

IT'S BEEN MADE WHOOOOOOO
They're not allowed to tell you over the phone anymore, new policy change apparently, only the case managers are allowed. So if one has been made, it'll be over letter.

Thank you lovely ❤️
Unfortunately another decline after 36 weeks of the start of this fight for him but on tomorrow I will ring up to stray the tribunal application to go on it.
They haven't changed the decision absolutely disgusting! My impression is that they don't read through thoroughly and carefully all the paperwork provided as an evidence they rushing the decision to meet their timescales and all what they care is about their deadlines and their own budgets not really about these children with additional needs, care 24/7, treatments and therapy etc ..comparing with a child who is blessed with a good health and no Disibility.
I hope that tmyou get the awarfwr for your baby good luck to you fingers crossed for you guys 🤞🤞🤞❣️xxxx

Honestly? I was annoyed, frustrated and decided that if they wanted to f*ck around they could find out, and was a vindictive cowbag towards them I'm not going to lie. They've avoided giving us the rates he needs for years because he's either not old enough, not impaired enough or just plain old wanna be arses.
