I've just read the webchat - thank you to Riven and the others for their SEN questions to him - they were really good.

I noticed he spent quite a lot ofthe webcaht answering the SENs and quite liked his answers.

Please let us know if he coumes up with the additional nappies Riven.

Where? How can we read the webchat wetaugust?
Could you say how to access it please?...sorry i'm a bit slow with pc technology.

Yeah, didn't see the whole thing from the link on the home page

I just followed the link on the Homepage. Why - was there more that i missed?

I was very pleased with his answer to my question, it sounds like he will make a difference in the system or try to anyway.

I am sure I'm being dumb but I only get the questions when I follow that link on the home page, not DC's answers. Anyone? I'd love to read it.

Davros, which link are you clicking on?

If you click on "read the discussion" (the obvious choice!), you get the full thread, starting off with all the advance questions MNers opsed through the week.

If you click on "edited version" then you get the cleaned up version, with the Q&A posted in subjects.

oh thanks silverfrog I hadn't realised that!

Hmm I like the idea of having money to spend how I wish. I wonder how much it would be. Of course there has to be something to buy. Direct payments don't work that well for us as we struggle to find people who can cope with ds1. And the paperwork.....! .

Liked his answer about special schools too. I think it is unfair that parents can insist on a mainstream school, and the LEA can only refuse on very particular grounds (health and safety/other children) but parents cannot insist on special school. I know it would become unaffordable perhaps if they could, but it seems strange parental preference only works in one direction.

Riven is quoted in The Times today - yay, the SEN board makes the national papers!!!
