No, my mum has...a very bad one too. Cannot discuss it on form though and not around till very late today.

Get home as soon and as safely as you can.

Hmm... remove each device one by one and try to isolate things in case it is one phone causing th problem...leave the modem till last. Also make sure you use the connection cable supplied with the modem - not just the one you had there before.

The main box is where the line to the modem should run from via a splitter. All other phones/answering machines etc must plug into a socket via a filter. Is that how it's set up now?

You haven't caved in you have compromised. There is a difference. I think you have got the right attitude..you'll try it and see if it will work, if it doesn't you can say at least you tried it there way.

Karen is right. To name the school in a statement the school have to agree to him going there. That is why the current head said talk to the LEA SEN dept. The prspective school and the LEA then make the necessary arrangements to take him - providing the school agree. Your next move is to tell the LEA the name of this school if it is the one you want and they then take over. Because of your own AS someone should be advising you through this procedure (parent partnership are the people who should do this). Hope that helps.

It is something you need to sort out together. You and the school have to act as one, giving the same message the same way. If you don't she will get mixed messages and not know where she stands. Karen is right, between you you need to get to the cause of this - there is one somewhere. HTH

Way to go you. Well done.

It's news to me. No IEPs except for those on statements...hmm. To get considered for a statement normally going through stages of support and intervention which involve School Action and then School Action + both of which, as far as I am aware, involve an IEP which set achivement targets for each child when these are not reached it moves the support up a level of support, the top level being a statement. No IEPs means no targets to meet...therefore no close record of achievement to base a statement request on...so how will anybody get a statement - this ARE still issued and ARE, as we know, still enforcable!

Might not qualify as easy but, try these: You are the king of the divan qu'elle me dit en passant (Ouh Ouh Quh) I'm the king of the di - van

According to the phaslets... "It was the butterfly that did it...'cos no one ever suspects the butterfly..."

PP service is supposed to be run 'at arms length' from the LEA. Best practice would be a bought in service based away from the LEA itself. Sadly this happens very rarely. PP are funded by the LEA, the service is a reuirement under one of the education acts (which one escapes me right now). Some are run well and as they should be, others sadly are not. If your PP is a good one then yes share with them. They are supposed to be there to help you and provide you with information on whatever your difficulty is. They can only do this effectively if they are aware of everything. That said if they are going to run to the LEA and tell them what your grounds for appeal are etc - don't!

Any luck?

We'll all be there...just outside the door. Go give them HELL!

You are, as ever, welcome.

You need a braodband filter on every phone jackpoint. If you don't have enough (don't forget the Sky box if you have one) unplug the ones that are not filtered and it ought to clear the line. Most ISPs provide a couple and they can be bought from most of the DIY outlet stores. HTH

Hi Jonathon, nice to see you back with us. It looks like you have had quite a torrid time of things lately. Still, whatever they say you have or haven't got you know you're always welcome here.

(Hi Jonathon...long time no see.)

Easier still, rather than writing it down can you tape her thoughts on it?

All this needs to be written down as well Viper and then added to the second half of your meeting. You can do this!!

Our neighbours once threatened to call the council about the 'noise level' and get us evicted. A swift phone call from us to the council soon put paid to that - they knew about the dx anyway.

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks Viper...but the link won't work Still looking....any suggestions gratefuly received.
