aaaarrrggghh wish me luck

[bubblagirl]

had phone call to tell me proposed statement is being sent out tonight im so panicky as i know i only get so much time to appeal and still dont know if school offer the first 12.5 hrs on top of statemented hours well i'll see how it goes tomorrow when it gets here feel so nervous

if anyone else has any useful information i could use please share haven't managed to do anything today but will go through and highlight all areas tomorrow and then i shall hopefully be in touch with someone who can advise me a bit more

anyone else

any stories how you dealt with it more so what should be written in regards to danger awareness as they havent added this at all concerns me as if they have day trip who will keep an eye on him etc
also what should be there in regards to autism and how people managed to get this changed right words etc?
im doing ok ive highlighted all areas they have described his needs and it is really downplayed
have seen that if going ms school it should be written with hrs for what they will be doing who with and if ta is trained in autism
should be understandable to all reading it and the more i read a-j makes no sense i have no clear picture of whats expected and i doubt anyone else will either

i'm just feeling quite lonely no one in rl understands or can offer me support or help

just a quick hello and virtual cup of tea - sorry you are having to go through all this. It may be me next year and it's clearly tough.

well i have some help sheets on how to thoroughly check your statement so if you want one let me know and you can put it by until needed

its tough they have played down his needs big time he has no settling time with anyone he struggles with new routines and needs preparation and 1-1 to help nothing mentioned

so they expect a 4 yr old autistic child with social communication disorder atypical speech sensory issues no danger awareness to go in with no 1-1 support, no SALT time no specific help set out have put here on one of the other pages if anyone can read through a-j and tell me if they know what it means that would be great as i sure as hell have no idea and would think neither would anyone else reading it

driving me mad [is it too early for anything stronger lol]

well just bumped into girl i know who has son with autism at same school im sending bubbla boy practically same needs bubbla boy slightly worse due to age

her ds gets full 1-1 support and at lunch times

it states he shall be dealt with by people trained in autism etc and bubbla boys she agreed was crap so i have this to fight now as i know they do give it

yep worth making sure that maybe add a bit in away from school premises bubbleboy will need a 1-1 at all time

is it worth calling youe salt see how much input she would reccomend,not sur ehow good crappy your salt is

also insist that there trained if bubblaboy uses pecs taht anyone working with him done the 2 day course atleast .

following with great intrest as 21st ours is due out and there going take to then i so know it

goodness and to think when i first started thread i was getting well dones lol just goes to show if your not 100% sure on statement you could easily sign the statement thinking you have a good deal lol its not worthy of anything how it stands

BBgirl - what a nightmare
We asked the nursery head about getting a statement for DS and, although she's very nice, she basically said not to bother because we'd have a very hard time proving he needs more than EarlyActionPlus (which he's on at the moment).
Nightmare nightmare nightmare. But you carry on fighting BBgirl!!!!

would rethink sc13 the specialist hv told me oh ds wont need a statementhe does am about 2 weeks behind bubblagirl in dooing mind she also tolsd mewheelchair services wouldnot help us#

she was wrong on both accounts , so if you think ds will need one forschool ignore their advice

Yes Phoenix - we are now seeing SENCO next week and will bring that up again. Mostly, I'm thinking of trying to get him into a school with special language unit, and without statement, forget it. I mean, I don't believe in this 'let's wait until he falls behind and then help him' attitude that they seem to have. DH almost sees it as a kind of compliment when they tell him DS doesn't need a statement - he has more faith in the system than I do

ah dont know where you are but if you want place in language unit hereyou need statement ,we looked at one but as ds has GDD they wont take him

they only have 22 places in total and wont take kids with any ld or asd basically wantkids that they can fix and return back to local schools

thanks sc13 i would also second going for statement regardless
i was told with ds school would provide blah blah blah and then nearer time found they wouldnt and glad i went through with my gut instinct of wanting everything in writing i trust no one now

if its not in writing then your child doesn't need to receive it if you dont have statement of sn your child is ok and expected to be like all the other children

id rather something concrete and understandable so ds gets all the help he deserves its a struggle but when were done fighting i can then sit back and think it was all worth it i hope

xx

also do what you feel best and not what people advise you to do a lot of the time they want to take the cheaper route on false promises of what they will offer and i know first hand you don't get it on a promise

it has to be whats best for your child not what they think is best so id go the statement route its concrete then

well i have now signed and sealed and photocopied reports and highlighted all his needs and advised help and have it all ready to send back hopefully they will read it all and maybe see to it before a meeting or without a meeting being needed

phoenix i shall send you all bits mentioned on monday i'll send the help leaflets also for when your statement arrives it has help numbers of several places also i'll keep you ion formed on outcome of this

cheeky bump

thanks bubblagirl me think ?I am going need them since we both under same lea even if not same office

lol yeah maybe lets hope you wont its been an emotional draining week but i have given loads of evidence to support my claims and sending it all back at once to hope that they will just see to it and bypass appeal meeting if not i know ive got enough to go on anyway but hate meetings hate talking to people that you know will try to break you down lol

lets hope they will just say we'll deal with it straight away lol good luck let me know when items arrive and let me know when your statement does too xx

phoenix bits are on there way let me know how it goes xx

thanks just herd that they sending it out today , Ahead of time so am a bit
if thats good or not

ooh you should get that tomorrow do tell me how it goes lets hope its a good en x

Just wanted to wish you both luck!

that and i wanted to post number:100

lol thank you very much xx
