I'm trying to write my letter applying for a co-ordinated support plan for my ds (bit like a Scottish version of a statement but with extra conditions required). Feeling a bit down re-reading his reports - my attempt to give up chocolate for lent went out of the window yesterday. We are waiting for the outcome of his language unit application any day but next Friday is 16 weeks before the end of the year so I need the CSP application in by then if it is to be done before he starts p1.
I'm not hopeful about getting in the LU and at the last NHS salt appointment he was put back on the waiting list for another block (we waited 9 monts last time). We're seeing our private Salt but I'm so cross at the lack of support within 'the system' . I also got the report today the pead wrote when we last saw her and in support of the LU application. When we saw her she said she would write a letter strongly supporting his application for the LU. The report downgrades this to 'I support his application' but unless it was sent to the panel quicker than it was sent to me it won't matter as it would be too late..
So, has anyone had any experience applying for a CSP? How much should I include in the letter? Given we've applied for a LU they can't now say he doesn't need significant SALT. (Though I was speaking to someone a few days ago who said the last child she knew with a CSP didn't get the support listed so I expect to see The tribunal at some point). I'm currently procrastinating instead of writing...
