Does anyone have a child who has a SEN for a speech disorder or who attends a school with a speech and language unit? DS1 has severe phonological order and his NHS speech therapist has recommended getting him statemented and perhaps sending him to a primary school in a neighbouring town with a speech and language unit. Do they even give out SENs for speech disorders? How rigourous is the assessment? Sorry to ask so many questions. The NHS sessions he's had have been few and far between (12 in total over 18 months) so I don't feel that therapist has had a chance to really work with him. We've had a private therapist since January and he's come on really well with her but the NHS lady is still recommending SEN. Just wondered if anyone had any experience or advice.
