    Hi Lynn :)

     

    I was going through the same thing with my son, 16 and ASD.

     

    He started taking 0.5mg of Risperdal twice a day, the difference in him is amazing!

    He has only had 2 meldowns since the beginning of August and before it was 2-3 times a week.

     

    They did give him prozac at first but it didn't help at all.

     

    Hope you find some thing suitable for him.

    Hi Bid :)

     

    I got the letter today too. R has had a flu jab every year for 9 years, because he suffers from Asthma.

     

    All those in a 'residential setting' wether old or young are normally offered the jab because it is so contagious.

    Hi :)

     

    R isn't on a trial basis. I rang the school today and they are very happy they way he has progressed and they will not be giving any 'negitive', comments to the LEA. :)

     

     

    He is Termly residential and normally would come home every 3rd weekend but some times it works out at the second weekend because of holidays etc.

     

    I found out today that the Tribunal have no authority over funding for taxi's etc

    The man needs nailing uside down by the 'b*****ks':lol:

     

     

    Ive seen a few planes and helicopter's outside as well! :lol:

    Hi :)

     

    Thanks for your help.

     

    I'm a bit more confused now. Just had another phone call from the SEN manager at the LEA, they really do like to call late!

     

    They are contacting the school to find out if it is the best placement for R or maybe another placement would be more benificial!! I don't know what they are playing at, they named the school at the tribunal and he has only been there 1 term.

     

    He also wants to know how many pupils get a taxi, how many are picked up by parents and how many travel independantly.

     

    Yhey will have it thrashed out by the end of the week. Its been 8 weeks so far ... maybe by Christmas eh!

    Hi :)

     

    I applied for mileage allowance from my LEA at the end of the Summer Term.

    The round trip to my son's school is 260 miles.

     

    At 7.59 this evening, the SEN case manager rang me. The LEA will not pay any mileage for last term. They only offer a cab to those who are physically disabled, and a boy with AS can travel across London by train, tube and bus carrying a case, TV, X-Box etc, who can't stand crowds, will get disorientated and is liable to have a melt down! He has never traveled on his own before (only by local bus) he won't be able to cope.

     

    They don't think that i am giving a 'True Picture' of the situation and will be ringing the school tomorrow.

     

    Sorry to rant, but i am soooo fed-up! :wallbash::wallbash:
