Hi you really should be receiving some help from a pyschiatrist or paediatrician, does your grandson have either of these professionals involved? It sounds like he needs some sort of medication. My son 16 is ASD and I went through a period of time when he didn't want to go to school, he looked very depressed which your grandson sounds like. You must get him some help asap, my son has been on prozac now since May and this has helped lift his depression, he now goes to school, to his clubs and to respite. You must insist on help from the professionals otherwise things will not improve and it is not fair on your grandson.

Hi grace you need to contact your local Parent Partnership service they are brilliant!!
I am currently going to appeal against my LA and they have supported me with all the paper work and advice. You only have a short time to appealso you need to contact them asap.

It has now become law that a parent can appeal the refusal of the LEA to amend the statement, after an Annual Review, but how does that work?
Are you supposed to say in writing before the AR that you want the statement amending or can you just state for the record that you want the statement amending during the actual AR meeting?
How long after the Annual Review itself do the LEA have to tell you that they refuse to amend?
Do the school or anyone else have to support your request to amend?
DO you have to show/explain why you want the statement amending or is it enough at the AR to simply say you think it does need amending and then send in the detail later?
Does anyone know where all of this info can be found, as I can see the actual law, but not the application of it.
Many thanks in advance.
Grace/x

Thank you so much for your replies It so good to know that we are not alone with this problem.
All the so called professionals always make me feel as if its my fault and that I should be constantly fighting him but as you will all know this does not work it creates even more problems.
