All the best for the appointment-and for coping with the transport arrangements on the big day.xx

If you want the lEA to fund the SALT,it has to be in Part 3 on the statement.Otherwise,they just say it is a health need at a time and frequency to be determined by Health.xx

Absolutely fantastic news!!!Oh to be a fly on the wall at the meeting with the Headteacher.

Rhodri last saw an EP when he was going through Statementing.He will probably next see an EP prior to Secondary transfer.They don't seem to be involved very often but the annual review and the IEP's are updated regularly and so I know how he is progressing.xx

What fantastic news.It gives hope to those of us filling in the forms as we speak.xx

All the best,Flutter.Renew your strength and then come back.xx

Welcome back.I know what you mean about Autism Overload.I feel like that at the moment and I've got the wretched DLA renewal forms to complete.Hmmm,perhaps there is some sort of connection between the 2!!!xx

I hope that your visit totally puts your mind at rest.The signs are positive and the School sounds keen to make it a success.xx

Don't worry,though.If they do decide in your favour,they will backdate payments to the date of your original claim.xx

No amazing words but lots of <'> <'> <'>

Fantastic news!!!xx

What brilliant results.Woo Hoo!!!xx

Fantastic that you've got the dignosis for your child without all the usual hoo-hah.Give yourself time for it to sink in.xx

I would have thought that Creatinine Kinase would have been done as part of the routine blood tests.They might well test for fragile X,too,since it seems to be the vogue to test all ASD children for this.xx

So great to hear that your son is thriving in his current set-up.That's really positive;if only such things could happen without a huge battle,sigh.xx

I hope that Matthew has a wonderful time.It is hard to let them go but its the only way they can achieve new things.xx

Welcome,Paul.This is a friendly site;glad you've joined.xx

I thought that the article in the News was detailed-and your daughter is gorgeous.xx

Thanks.I've added it to my favourites because I think my youngest will enjoy.xx

That sounds like a positive step.Hope you get the chance to talk to the Specialist teacher,too.xx

Some people have all the luck!!Iit's good to know that some EP's are prepared to LISTEN to parents.xx

And is that an example of inclusion in practice in a mainstream setting?!?!xx

It sounds as if your change in strategy (ie. ignoring the swearing) has reaped dividends.
