Has anyone succesfully applied for an Ehcp?

mumof4boys772

Has anyone successfully applied for an Ehcp for a child with High functioning autism and sensory processing disorder & hypercussis? I have been told we wont get one, so I was wondering if anyone had?

  • The school will always tell you that you will not get a plan. By getting a plan which by the way covers your child for access to support in education until the age of 25, it shows that the school is not helping.

    You get a plan by getting an a clinical psychologists diagnosis. If you have this then that should guarentee to get you your EHCP. However once you get this it is all about the enforcement and monitoring of the objectives within it to help your child.

    In my experience (my son now 16) the help is shoddy, the education system is discriminate towards how Autisitc individuals process language,and no one really gives a damn!

    If I had my time again I would still get the report but I would Have home schooled with private 1:1 tuition from specialised tutors. 

    Sorry the document can be used a legal tool if you need to use it, but it is not a document to solve the stress both you and your child are coping with trying to educate him or her.

    Good Luck
