S139A Learning Disability Assessment

Charity

Hi,

I should be interested to know if anybody has had recent/current experience of LDA's.

Our LEA is conducting a review of the LDA and I wonder whether I am allowed to be present when the assessment takes place?

Comments gratefully received!

  • Hi Mum of 3,

    Sorry if my post came on a bit too strong, I didn't want to belittle anyone or anything.

     

    I gave more in detailed info as OP said they were looking to go for Judical Review.

     

    I sooo get your fustrations about colleges not following LDAs but you may have been be able to challenge the council on not doing enough on their part to secure the provision for your son + things might change somewhat by the Gov's EHCP.

    In the meantime somone in this situation might encourage the college to access funds from the Gov's Department for Education's agency. It's now called the Education Funding Agency and they fund young people upto their 25th birthday who have a LDA.

    The college etc can apply for funding upto or around £19K per year for students with high level needs.

     

    At the moment I would echo Mum of 3's advice on trying to stay at a local school sixth form or be linked upto one for continued Statement support. Pitty as my school didn't even have a sixth form during my time.

     

     

    Take Care,
