jaffacakes Report post Posted February 28, 2010 I think you're being very patient, I would have blown a fuse by now. Ross is out of school and won't be going back until we have a diagnosis - it may be a very strong tactic but I'm not putting him through more of what he has already had to deal with. I suspect that Ross will be back in a new school by Sept 2010. Good Luck! Lynn I do understand how you are thinking and feeling. But keeping your son out of school can mean you are acting illegally. Hi Sally, Just to clear this one up, my son is not legally required to attend school until after Easter 2010 and he only catches this years intake by 7 days. I did ask for him to be deferred but Cheshire were very unpleasant about it and we gave up. However CASADT have commented that as we are working towards a CAF, have substantial evidence that show that our son needs further support in school and that I am also able to Home Educate in the short term we should not get much resistance from the schools authority. The CAF shows that the Behavioural 'specialist' we have seen has been of no help and actually hindered us so we will continue to dig our heals in until the situation changes. CASADT have done more for us in the last week than the NHS have in over 4 years - they have actually listened and believed us so with their assistance Ross won't be out of school for too long. However If I have him at home from now until Sept 2010 I will enjoy this extended time with him - this time last year he was too ill to do much and we missed out on a lot of things I wanted to do. Lynn PS sorry if my writing comes over very harsh, it's not what I intend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
