14 years!

kitty Kate

Its taken me 14 years to get my daughter her diagnosis of autisim! During this time us as a family have been under the scrutiny of the social services. Many professionals have put her problems down to bad parenting, attatchment issues with me, its been humiliating. Not only that but more importantly my daughters education has been totally inappropriate and inadequate. 

This is the second assesment we have been through the first was when she was 8 and in no way as in depth as this one. I want to make a claim for compensation and repreations I want formal apologies from proffessionals involved throughout the years especially the speech therapist who conducted the first asd assessment.  What do I do now, where do I go????

  • Hi - this must have been so awful for you all.  I can understand why you are enquiring about this.  To be wrongly accused is a terrble thing.  Unfortunately I'm not a legal expert.  I would think you'd need all the documentation you must have received over the years + then advice as to where you stand legally.  I'd check out legal aid, just to see where you stand, but I think the government tightened up substantially on the eligibility criteria a while ago.  Sometimes, if you're or someone in your family is a member of a trade union they can get legal advice from that union's solicitor.  Whether that includes issues such as yours, I don't know.  Perhaps the nhs helpline/email may be helpful and/or CAB?  Others may know much better than me.  Also doing a search may throw up something of interest, usefulness.  Fighting these cases can be expensive + drag on so it pays to do your homework.
