Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Hi, I'm off in a minute, while most of you are slumbering the night away, to see tims speech therepist. I am going to inform her that I am going to appeal to the SEN tribunal about provision of speech therepy. She is under the impression that 1/2 termly (6 times a year!) is sufficient! Sticktly speaking its the LEA I am appealing against as they write the statement (IEP equivalent in the states) of need and provision for it but they will only provide what the speech dept say they will provide and haven't actually looked at tims individual need. Also there is no provision for transfer to his junior school in september so that is going to the tribunal too. Sigh, just what I need at christmas! On the bright side, yesterday tim did his first ever totally unaided without direction or pencil lines or even idea, picture. I said go draw a picture for callum, he sat down, muttered to himself " big round, dot dot, body, arm arm leg leg " Then he presented me with this beautiful picture. I wish I could keep it and frame it but it was for his firend to head a letter that said sorry I bit you callum and hope you feel better soon!!! ok there was in fact no arms or legs and the body was about 1/10 th of the size of the head, but there was hair in the right place, and ears in the right place, two big eyes and a huge smile. It was lovely and all the more so becoz he did it entirely by himself. Sue Wong, a proud mummy, off now to do battle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
