EHCP can i move home and keep my EHCP, or do i re-apply

cozican007

Hi. 

My 8 year old son, Bear, is diagnosed autistic, with ODD, and Epilepsy.  His school and us have jusy completed his EHCP and are now waiting for a reply.  We wondered if we wanted him to go to a special school, as he is struggling in mainstream school,  if we wanted one in a different county, can the plan be moved with us, or do we need to re-apply?    we want him to go to a school in Dorset, but we live in Hertfordshire. We have a council house, and wondered if we could get them to help us relocate to Dorset. Everything is up in the air at the moment, and its hard to make plans without knowing what we can do.  

I also have a bi-polar disabled husband, and want to move to be near the school, as  I want Bear to go daily, and definitely not residential.  plus, we would be mocving nearer my dad, who is ill.     does anyone know what help/advice we can get regarding this. as everything hinges on whether we can move or not. 

thanks so much for reading this.  :)

  • thanks for sharing that with me, we always hear about children getting diagnosed, but never adults. xxx   my husband may have some aspergers traits, but to be honest, its only senondary to his bi-polar, which is now managed really well with meds, and as im the brains in the family, i do all the paperwork and stuff, so he doesnt need to worry. he will always be dyslexic, that will never change,  and theres not alot we can do about it, so we concentrate on his mental health.   

    it must have been a big wieght lifted off your shoulders thou?  or did it complicate things, having a diagnosis, as you had coped for so long without knowing?  im hoping it has improved your life now, and you feel more empowered. :)  we find that understanding all about Bears different issues has helped us no end in working out how to communicate with him on his level.
