OT really angry

Ming

Luke has had his first session of OT today and the therapyst is really angry that the school have not put in place any of the suggestions they have made.

I know the school have had the letter and report for over 6 weeks now but still nothing has been implemented. 

I am going to make an appointment with the SENCO to discuss this but if she says there is nothing they can do where do I go from there?

  • Thank you.

    It gets worse, my husband had a quick word with the SENCO when he took Luke back to school.  Basically she said that one of the pieces of equipment cost £30 and they only had 2 in the school and that Luke was probably lying about the other things not being implemented.

    Basically the OT has said that he needs work typed out and put in front of him instead of trying to write from the board.  He needs a wiggle seat as she said he needs to move to concentrate and l needs to have special pens to write with and also needs to learn to touch type so he needs a computer.

    I can't believe that they would deny him something for the sake of £30.  My husband told her that if they had informed us we would have bought it ourselves.  He is fuming right now.  He has asked her to get back to him before his next OT appointment next Wednesday.

    I really need to find out what I can do if the school refuse to give Luke the help and equipment he needs.
