OT: speech and language therapy

[Guest guest]

Hi

Sam's annual review is coming up next week and I would like his speech

and language " specified " in statement, he is in an SLD school and

currently gets two group sessions per week, one with 2 other children

and one class session. At present it is just a vague statement saying

Sam will have " access " to SLT.

The SLT at the school is great but she is under huge pressure to do

more work outside the school and has just had her salary cut!! I

think she is near breaking point and may well leave soon.

Do any of you know if you are entitled to have SLT specified in a

statement, she thinks that would mean tribunnal suppose because if she

does leave and it is specified then they would have to provide SLT by

law.

Don't think I have the time and energy to go down the tribunnal route,

been there once, not again!!

thanks in advance for any advice, Di
