statements

Hi my son has been diagnosed with asperger and adhd and a question mark on the possibility of developing Tourettes he got turned down from having a statement, it was said they needed the proof of extra help he was receiving and that they wanted at least 15 hours proof ,the schools senco was not happy with this as she said he at least gets 22hours,so I pipped up and said they only wanted 15 so why didn't they send all the information on she just changed the subject.  we have now got an EP after a long time of asking for one, hopefully she can help me get some answers , my concern more than anything is I've got to find Joshua a school by October for the year after and with his school grades being so low can he cope in mainstream school or a school that specialize in asperger, but my I've been told he wouldn't be able to go to a school that specialize in asperger because he hasn't' got a statement can anybody help me please because I seem to be going round in circles

  • Thank you for your advice, I did think of appealing but how can I appeal when the school are not sending all the information,they are being a bit difficult at the minute, I don't want Joshua to get excluded again as he was at Christmas, even though school know of his diagnosis I do think they think he is just being naughty when he's not! It's like they no nothing on his condition at all. Now that I have received DLA for Joshua I could always try and go private, 

    Thanks again
