Where to start, fed up of being pulled from oneside to another, well here goes, my four year old daughter has just been diagnosed however I first sensed it when she was 9 months old.
She was kicked out of mainstream a year ago as she was too difficult to deal with however we found a good nursery with a very good senco. We are currently applying for a ehcp however this is where it has got difficult, senco, nursery and portage all say she should go to special school however cahms are saying that as she is very bright they fear her education will suffer in a special school, cahms have advised me to percivere with mainstream but find one with small class sizes, shoot me if I sound stupid but I'm sure that I haven't heard of a primary school will small class sizes.
The thing that worries me about mainstream is they promise you sen support but very rarely do you see it in action as an example my 16 year old is going through gcse, I've been telling them since she was six years old that she was dyslexic and dispraxic and she has only been getting support for the last two months and that's only because I threatened the school with legal action.so I don't have much faith in sen support in mainstream schools as it is.
We are so confused, do we go for her education, or her sen needs, do we trust mainstream, do we think a special school would be better, wow it's all so confusing, Fed up of feeling like we are failing our daughter whatever we do
