HiI was told that to qualify for a blue badge you have to be in reciept of the high mobilty rate.But he does qualify for a free bus pass

That was the automatic criteria but if you could prove you needed and didn't get the high rate you still got it.

I have a blue badge for myself, so I don't have to worry about my son getting for one for now. But my GP did intimate that if I did not she would put forward that I required one for my son, who get lower rate of mobility and middle rate of care...and the school still said he wasn't disabled, just bad!

According to my local MSP when I saw him he told me that there is the funds and resources available BUT schools are NOT accessing them!
Why? Because special needs children bring down the schools league tables!
It's all about figures now and not the child.

Easy done, I do it all the time!

JSMumcomplains of growing pains and I put down a lot of clumsyness down to growing
Be sure this is not hypermobility syndrome...I too was told I had 'growing pains'. I am now disabled with hypermobility syndrome!

ok, will try and give you instructions...although I get lost myself
Ok I am vista so it may be different for you.
Open the internet explorer and click on tools.......other than vista right click your internet explorer symbol
click the content tag
enable content adviser
you will be asked for a password and a hint...I put ASK MUMMY for my hint so he came and asked me!
From there on in only YOU can allow web sites, temporarily or permanently or not at all.
Hope that helps, don't pay for things unless you have to
If your on AOL you can do this via AOL when you set up a child account. They then have to send you an email asking you to unlock a web site.
-
You could use internet explorer security and password every web site. I have just done that for my lad as he was by passing AOL security

if it's real snow you won't be travelling more than 30 mph any way!
It's all white here and more to come, pity as tomorrow I have journey to Edinburgh for the annual Panto and it's not going to be a pleasant journey if I have to follow the gritter to get out of my rural idyll

Our diet now is now on a wholefood diet anyway He does react to food colouring and preservatives so we avoid them as much as possible. I noticed this first when at 18mths he started head banging me when ever he ate smarties. He is fine with them now as they have removed the colourings.
So we don't have processed foods very often, avoid take aways and cook from scratch with food that we try to know the origin of or have grown myself....I have a lot of friends that 'produce' food.
I have taken out the link as the web site included external adverts.I hope the post still reads the wy you intended.Regards Karen.

Maybe you could suggest a health eating plan for the school...in the meantime I would request to them that sweets are not given out but fruit instead, unless of course they would like to fund his dental plan!

I found that eye q or equivalent helped my son...it doesn't help all children

My son was ahead at the milestones but at the age of 1 he started to shut down.....I am still battling for a diagnoses!

The head teacher on the phone said that she couldn't do the christms play then and pulled her out. So had to explain it to her, she was upset but she still didn't want to do RE. But when it got closer to the nativity she was fine as she got to do colouring in and read books.Personally i was glad as i gone through 2 of the play in the previous years and was bored to tears. Plus had my lovely son and ended up missing sections as i had to take him out od the hall a few times.
The school also does grace but she turns her back and faces the wall. Thought the school was non demonation but it's christian based.
My son was punished for not saying grace in a non denominational school...he was sent out to the head to 'explain' why he wouldn't pray. It ended up with him getting so angry about it he would shout out....'it's not GOD it's evolution' and 'If there is GOD who made man in his own image, was he disabled too?'
It didn't go down well!

you could try some natural toothpaste from your health food store. They are relatively expensive but you only need a very little to achieve clean teeth...that stay clean too!

My son take fishoils, omega 3 etc. He takes 1000mg 3 times a day. Any less than this and his concentration goes and he switches off. His doctor is aware he takes this amount and see no problem with it if it the dose that helps him.

I have just embarked on home education due to the 'system' constantly letting him down and teachers not accepting my sons has problems...I have the problem apparently and it reflects on him giving rise to extremely bad behaviour from him!
I am not worrying about exams for him, he is 11. In few years, or soon if he wishes, he will either return to school provided it will manage him properly or go to college to do exams. He enjoys his home education and works on his own with little opposition...so why was there so much opposition in school? Well if he keeps being told how useless he is he won't work will he!
He gets his social interaction from friends, yes he does have them just none in school, and clubs at the local leisure centre...he gets voluntary and more productive social interaction instead of forced social interaction.
The resources are out there for mainstream education to work for our children, the schools even get extra money to implement it if they have children in the school, so why don't schools use it? Apathy? Or is it league tables?

Just a quick introduction
I am a single mum, who is also disabled but don't dwell on it hypermobility syndrome. I have twins, one boy with probable higher functioning autism, and one girl. After years of struggling with the education system and their lack of knowledge and understanding of children with complex needs......well my theory is the do understand just don't want 'them' pulling their ratings down...I have decided in to home educate my son for the foreseeable future!
I need some advice- restraint resulting in s/s being told

Don't know what is happening etc but you have a solicitor..use them, don't you get involved personally as you will may have child protection issue directed at you particularly. Your solicitor can act independently, and on legal aid if acting for your child in a matter, and get the information out of them without the intimidation.
Will this other parent be a witness? Will the respite worker confirm the allegation was reported to them? And why were the police not involved for an assault?
