Thanks for the replies. My son has a learning disability and also a speech and language disorder. He has plenty to say but is very difficult to understand. He has been attending a main stream school for two days a week (where he doesnt cope well) and a specialist speech and language unit for three days where he does better. He has a statement for 25 hours. Since his autism diagnosis ive been told he is no longer eligable to attend the specialist unit as autism has become his primary need ( cant get my head round that ). At the moment im trying to get him into special school but it seems like im constantly fighting against the education authority to get whats best for my son. Has anyone else had this problem.
