fiorelli Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Just wondering where/whether you have your child's ASD/ADHD/ODD etc etc mentioned in the statement of SEN. If so, where about is it mentioned in there? L's is written in under part 5 of his Statement - Non-educational needs. Just wondering if this is the 'norm' or not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Bill's is detailed in part 2. If your son has a statement due to difficulties related to ASD, then I can't understand why it is written into part 5... because it is an educational need surely? Doesn't make sense does it?

madme Report post Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) If its only in Part 5 then the provision relating to ASD won't be dealt with in Part 3 which is where it needs to be. His diagnosis and difficulties should be in Part 2 and provision in Part 3 Contact IPSEA asap. There is a good book by ACE about statements.

Karen A Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Hi.It would be a very good idea to push very hard to ensure that ASD and any support relating to ASD is included within educational provision.It is very difficult to ensure that any provision under ''non-educational'' needs is provided or to challenge the LEA if it is not.The provision could be withdrawn at very short notice if budgets are reviewed or the needs of the service dictate it.

Kathryn Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Agree with all of above. ASD is always going to be an educational need. The only non educational needs are usually purely medical, for example a heart condition which does not affect the child's ability to learn. Sometimes needs can be mentioned in part 2 and again in part 5, but only part 2 is leaglly enforceable. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teachermum1 Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Yep, part 2. Part 2 is the only place I've ever seen it when it's only in one place. J also has ADHD in Part 2. However, on J's statement, he also has ADHD in Part 5! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kazzen161 Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Agree, T's was in part 2. If it is in part 5, it will not be taken into account when choosing a school. What have they put in Part 2? In your position, it would be good to have AS put in, rather than ASD (if your son has AS), as it will affect which schools will be considered/will consider him.
