Hi there, I've not been around much recently what with the school hols and everything else that fills my little life to the max!!
As some of you may know, I requested that Amelia was assessed for statutory assessment as ATM she is due to start Reception in September with no additional classroom support and only approx 20minutes support outside the classroom about 3 times a week. The LEA have turned her down saying the school are currently meeting her needs! So I have to appeal!
Out of interest and for possibly use by myself, the Downs Syndrome Medway Group(due to become Kentwide), and anyone else who needs it- I am thinking of setting up a document of evidence of what other children with DS are currently getting in their educational setting.
Firstly what does everyone think of the idea? Do you feel it would be beneficial?
Secondly, would the mums on here with children with DS be willing to give a small write up including their names and addresses?
Sorry, just throwing some ideas around as I haven't even started on the appeal paperwork yet and IPSEA are too busy to give their full support ATM!
Your input would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
