annie Report post Posted December 7, 2006 Hi Nuttynemo, Have you spoken to IPSEA? Their helpline is busy (keep trying), but the advice they give is excellent and it is free . Just a thought, but have you considered Education Other Than At School (small group learning) for your son? It worked brillantly for my son (AS/ADHD).

pumpkinpie Report post Posted December 8, 2006 It is worth remebering if your child is educated outside school ie college at polst 16 the statement ceases to exist and does not apply to the college! Scary stuff and worth thinking about when considering post 16 education Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
