Many years ago DLA were life time awards. There was an understanding that some conditions like autism are life long.

Then PIP was introduced and the magical assumption that conditions some how diminish or disappear.

Trouble is some conditions, like autism, are for life!

Roanna Âû SEND National Crisis Many times I asked if the taxi firms they engaged were DBS checked and got told that's up to the company to do & check, so effectively the council didn't check. When my son was about 8 a driver dragged him to the house by the arm coz he was in a hurry & my son was slow.

Roanna Âû SEND National Crisis Its a disgrace, what they make you fight for, its never ending battle for what should already be in place thoughout children services within the council, no parent with a child with SEND should have to fight for this to be included, then to be told no then have to fight appeals.

Why do people drafting EHCPs abandon basic grammar? I'm tired of seeing provision framed as 'X to receive support in ...' 'X to develop ...' etc. What's wrong with 'X will receive ... ', 'X will develop ...'?

Roanna Âû SEND National Crisis They couldn't wait to get rid of my child over 20yrs ago - had a big meeting and TOLD ME child would be going to residential to get sorted out, since I refused to drug them into compliance for the convenience of teachers. I deregistered and home ed after that - lucky we can in UK

Roanna Âû SEND National Crisis JoMo 💙 'Of all the children excluded from schools in England last year, 47% had some form of special educational needs, according to Department for Education figures.'
Not to blame schools, but probably 100% have unmet needs of some description.

Roanna Âû SEND National Crisis This is true, I’ve seen parents, it’s happened to they keep them on roll at the school and say they don’t have the staff, so they say the child can come in for half an hour, one hour occasionally to build it up, but sometimes it goes down to nothing. Many schools Southwark Council

Roanna Âû SEND National Crisis A 'cull' is exactly how I describe our situation when my son was excluded at age 6 (which was quashed by an independent review panel appeal, which the school decided to ignore!)
A few other autistic kids were also gotten rid of at the same time.

Some kids come to us and say...

“I'm finding things tough. I need some help.”

And it's fairly easy to respond.

Not every child has that language, that confidence that help will arrive.

They still need our help, however they communicate it.

Can anyone recommend any systematic spelling intervention programmes for a 16 year old who can read and write well enough to pass his GCSE English retake. Probably need to start from close to scratch with the spelling rules though. ??Pig Witch
