We have ds1's first AR coming up.
At his IEP meeting I asked the SENCO if our LA officer would attend AR and she said no - in fact initially she said it would be just her and us, until I made a point of saying I wanted his new school to attend. Apparently inclusion/outreach will be there - although Lord knows why as his inclusion teacher has only seen him twice for half an hour a time this year (which considering they said they wanted to ensure he was properly supported this year due to transition etc is beyond poor).
After chasing the SENCO - again - (for a first AR that is also secondary transition and should have taken place in April ) we now have a date and his new school are attending, but no LA Officer.
Should I call the LA Officer myself and ask if she would normally attend?
To me, it makes sense for her to be there, as isn't she the one that has to approve any changes to the statement?
Also, while I'm here - are there deadlines for parent contribution forms to be sent in etc and shouldn't we have everyone else's forms circulated to us prior to the meeting as well. The review is straight after half term, we only heard about it mid-week last week and they want us to return our completed form in time for circulation to other attendees - which is pretty much impossible, given we break up on Thursday.
