pim Report post Posted September 20, 2005 well I got the proposed statement. Two weeks is not long to decide what to do. Ds is 4 and is due to start school in January. He will be one of the youngest in his year. In the statement it states he will get 15 hours 1 to 1 help based on full time attendence. However, i don't think he is ready to go full-time. There is no way he'd manage lunchtime. So, I'm wondering should I contact the LEA and try and get them to change the hours to be based on part time attendence. I'm worried if I do this they will then reduce his hours. I really don't know if he will cope with full time. If he does go full time I don't think 15 hours is enough. I'm wary of rocking the boat. I feel I should be happy that I've got this much help for him before he starts school. pim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted September 20, 2005 Hi pim, Great news about the statement. I'm really pleased you've got it, knowing this particular bunch as I do. I'm afraid I don't know enough about this stage of the process to be any help, but I think calling Ipsea is a good idea, they will help you get as much out of the LEA as you possibly can.

pim Report post Posted September 21, 2005 hi, thanks for the replies. I have talked to IPSEA, who suggested contacting the LEA to arrange a meeting and to suggest changing the statement and to see what their reponse was. I'm just a bit wary and scared of rocking the boat. pim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
