s/d 12/07 new claim. 16 weeks 3 days. Have a feeling be declined. Only had the cahms acceptance letter and the schools input. Age 11.

Hello, can I ask, if my child’s on pathway for autism weve no report back from anyone yet all I’ve ever been given is evidence to send to pathway at the start that I then had to add to and give back to school for the referral to be made, so how do I send any evidence? do I ring school and doctors to print off the old referrals which senco had filled in im so confused with my other child I had a huge occupational report this time I feel like I’ve just filled in a form and hoped they’d reach out to pathway and school. But now last minute I’m trying to think of how I can get any evidence together to send.
many responses would be appreciated thankyou

How old is your child? I’m finding it more difficult this time claiming with my 4 year old than with my 11 year old. I sent SALT report, a questionnaire from nursery and ASD referral. They have now written to her new school

Yes I think there’s one more. Maybe they’ve written to your child’s school too?

Hi. I sent mine on Friday as well. Just called and it was added onto the system ☺️

SD: 23.08 (new claim)

SD 28/06

18w 3d today and really tempted to call 🫠

Hi, my son is on the pathway too but due to waiting lists not had anything further yet. I sent the acceptance from camhs stating that a referral had been made for an adhd/asd assessment and that they had accepted the referral, then I sent all the paperwork school had done including views of a few different staff members and the senco, a sensory profile they’d done for him, the ed psych reports. I was worried whether this would be ok but I have since sent further bits in as I have got them - a letter from paediatrics that
summarised an appointment we’d had but described how his behaviour had been which backed up what I’d described in the form and I also sent the request for an EHC needs assessment that school had done and the acceptance of this from my council to assess and proceed with an EHCP. It’s hard to know what to send when you are on waiting lists so fingers crossed they have enough with what is send 🤞🏻

I called them on Friday and all they could tell me is that it's 'in progress' that's all they said I asked has it even been looked at they said no not yet 😳 I'm 20 weeks weds x

Hello, she is 7, it’s soo hard isn’t it, atleast you sent some I think that’ll be enough for you love, what was I thinking just sending the forms back without anything just in hope they’d reach out to pathway and school, I have just messaged schools Senco asking for her referral form they sent but will they still have a copy? I am 16 weeks waiting now since scan date, do you think it will make it in time any evidence I have?

Im 1/7 also please keep us updated

I hope so 🤞🏻. The school has noticed a lot, but obviously she’s different at home with different situations and scenarios. I’d have thought they’d still have it. If not, contact the autism team. I didn’t have a copy of the SALT report to begin with, so I called the SALT team and they emailed me it. Best of luck.

Thankyou I will do, I’ve messaged school and I’ve left NDP a voicemail in hopes they will ring back, honestly my child’s school don’t communicate with me enough over what there doing I only found out recently that she spends most morning with another child on a tablet. It’s ridiculous. Good luck I hope you have a positive outcome

Scan date 25/06 week 19 🤞to hear some good new this week
