Parents of Toddlers with Autism/Global development delays/Speech Delays

Please do get it in writing. I’m being a bossy boots here, but I was told verbally and then they lied and said they’d told me the opposite. I won, but it was enormously stressful.

It’s ‘good’ that the senco said he wouldn’t cope in mainstream- means you have a stronger case for specialist provision.

Best of luck with the panel.

Hello - panel said mainstream so now I have no clue what to do!
Nursery said don’t defer as he is so clever but every other aspect of his life he’s a baby.
But my heart is saying defer x

Currently 7am and my daughter has been awake since 1am, really going through it with her sleep at the moment again just had a mini break down which could just be lack of sleep or the fact I’m 22 weeks pregnant and an emotional wreck anyway time to get ready for work…oh the joys

My daughter got officially diagnosed this week! Going to apply for an EHCP now, luckily her nursery are doing most of the application as they will know what to do more than me. Her nursery is attached to a primary school and the school SENco said she has been spending time with my daughter and that she should definitely try mainstream school. I do agree with her, so hopefully with some support she can really thrive! She doesn’t start school until September 25, so we’ve still got a decent amount of time to apply for EHCP and any possible remediation etc as I know people say they are very hard to get! Which just shouldn’t the case.

Good luck!
my sons EHCP was relatively straight forward luckily, so hope yours is too! X

Does anyone know when and how you apply for Sen/Sen unit schools?

EHCP is finalised and my daughter has another year in preschool but I've only ever applied for mainstream school with my previous kids and not knowing the process for SEN schools is stressing me out

The senco at my sons school and his sen caseworker put in his application if that’s any help?

Is that usually how it's done? Can I ask what month you find out? I know it's earlier than the mainstream schools

Usually a school is chosen and agreed by mid feb, have a look for tours already and make sure you check out all types, resource provision really surprised me in a good way!
