Dd is 9 with AS. Currently in a language unit and is coping as best as she can. She is very bright but however emotionally she is way below her peers.
I know the school are pushing for ms school with unit. We don't want dd in ms at all and feel a small school would be best for her.
So spoke to LEA today about forwarding papers to a school we want to assess our dd for a placement. My sen officer was so rude and said that it wasn't down to the parents but the LEA to decide which school dd should go to and who's idea was it to look at independant schools without their go ahead
So where do I stand? Do I not have any say at all???? I will home ed without a shadow of a doubt if need be.....

flyingmum and blossomhill I'd be up for that as well As you know I'm not even at the stage yet of having to fight the battle with getting ds in the right place, but I am worried about it as I feel mainstream would absolutely crucify him But I'm not too knowledgeable about it so I'll just likely be there taking notes, if you don't mind!!!!!!!
