Hi
im wondering if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction please,
our daughter has been diagnosed with autism, OCD and chronic tic disorder
at school she is apparently hitting the national average and therefore school
state there is no evidence to support an application at present for an EHCP.
she suffers severely at school and great that she is making the grade however it's the other areas she is struggling in i.e social communication etc so because she is making the grades does this mean we would t stand a chance if we applied for an EHCP.
kind regards
Hi Bonsai,
You may find the information on our website about EHCs useful - http://www.autism.org.uk/about/in-education/extra-help-in-school/england/ehc-plans.aspx
You can also contact the NAS Education Rights Service for help and advice - the contact details are here: http://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/education-rights.aspx.
I hope that helps with working out what the process is and taking the next steps.
Regards,
