I have requested that the LEA consider statementing Amelia, who is due to start reception in mainstream school in September.
She is doing very well in nursery but getting very little in the way of support.
The school have been great in so many ways, have attended our specialised private SALT sessions and have also paid to attend a course based on SALT in mainstream for children with DS. They do spend time working on her therapies outside of the nursery at present. (20minutes 3 times a week but no additional help in the nursery setting)
I copied my letter to the LEA requesting assessment and gave it to the school with a letter requesting a copy of Amelia's school records BUT they seem really reluctant to provide me with these! I didn't want to come down heavy handed but I have just quoted on the phone to the secretary that I am legally entitled to these and they do actually need to do this within 15 days of the request.
I feel really uncomfortable about this and don't want to put their back up IYSWIM. I quoted various documentation/resources such as DfES code of practice, the DSA, Ipsea and our local Parenting Partnership.....just waiting for them to get back to me now!!!
