I am looking for advise/experiences with Enfield LEA. My son is 5 and has high functioning autism (NHS diagnosis). Applied last year for an assessment which has been turned down. Now we are trying again but was told by EdP that it is unlikely that he will be assessed! We had such a bad time with schools and I can t see any of his needs met if they are not stated in a legal document! We had to move him from his initial school due to disagreement with Senco now he ended up in a school with special measures where he is offered "cake" when he behaves! (He tells me quite a lot once questioned at home...).
Please help...did you have to go to tribunal for assessment of your son/daughter with HFA? Are they trying to delay statement to save themselves money..as his struggles will become more apparent as he progress into year 1? And if you do have a statement what sort of support is in there? SLT, OT....etc?
Please help...as I feel really stressed out about him staying in this school for year 1 without any help and without a statement :(.
