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?

  • Sandra,

    Just to let you know we had a long meeting with the SENCO yesterday and she basically put her hands up and apologised that they should have have been doing things and they weren't.  She asked is we could start afresh and they would get things done from now on.

    She did say that it was hard with Luke as her did not present badly at school.  The SENCO was Luke's class teacher in year 1 and she told us although she thought he was a bit quirky and was worried about his fixations she had never considered he had autism.  She was quite shocked when he was dianosed.  We explained to her what a masssive effort it was for him just to keep himself together in school and how 1 bad thing happening during a school day would cause a massive erruption once he gets home. 

    We have agreed to start afresh with but have always said we will be keeping on top of things.  We have asked if they do not feel Luke needs certain things anymore that they come back to us and we will check with CAMHS and the OT to see if the changes are necessary.

    Fingers crossed we have now made some progress and things will get better from now on.

    Speaking to the school SENCO is definitely the way forward. I sincerely hope you get this sorted out tomorrow Ming, when you've got time to have a full conversation. Please do let us know how you get on. If you're still not happy I'm sure some of our users will have some advice for you.
    You could also get in touch with the Education Rights Service:

    They'll be able to talk to you about your situation and advise you what Luke is entitled to.
    Good luck tomorrow.
