Congratulations to you and your son. Lovely news before Christmas!

Congratulations on your twins awards

26/07, very relieved. Wasn’t expecting HRC as I didn’t have much evidence to send so I’m glad his needs were recognised. He’s on the pathway for ASD but he’s severe IMO. He’s none verbal which his senco included in her report. He harms himself on a daily basis, hits himself in the head, bangs his head on the floor if something minor happens which upsets him. He’s physical towards me, hits, kicks, bites & scratches. It could be over something as simple as me picking a different towel to dry him with after the bath if his usual blue one is in the wash. He can’t cope with change at all and gets very distressed. He’s now at nursery but he’s doing a very slow phased start, started doing an hour a day and we’re upping it 15 mins when he adjusts a little better. Also still in pull ups & sleeps for 6 hours a night and wakes at regular intervals, that’s on a good night. The only evidence I had was his speech and language reports, a report from his SENCO & his referral acceptance letter for ASD. So yeah I’m very relieved, I definitely feel he qualifies for HRC but I didn’t know if his application would be hindered by the lack of evidence I had to support it.

Fingers crossed for all still waiting 🤞 xx

I didn’t even ask when it went to a decision maker. I rang Friday morning wasn’t allocated so either Friday afternoon, Saturday or Sunday I would assume

Congratulations hon🎉Wow 29/08 that's the latest August one ive seen x

As soon as I know anything I shall update 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Congratsssss

Oh right, If it went over the weekend you could well have a decision 🤞🤞

I’m gonna call😂

Aw bless him and you. My boy a lot the same but he's 11. Been fighting schools and everyone for years for help x
