Should my child be on an Iep?

mumof4boys772

Ok my child is 9 and we finally got a diagnoses of Hfa in July last year, child also has socail comm difficulties and sensory proccessing disorder although this is not formally diagnosed.

My son has history of wanting to kill himself, most of it through meltdowns because he gets so angry and he can be incrdibley violent, none of these he shows at school though.

We have just applied for an Ehcp although my son is not even on an Iep so I am not sure he will get one, I found out recently after being told for years that his levels are ok that they are not, he is a year behind for reading and 2 years behind in other subjects.

Son does show mild problems at school like screaming in peoples faces ect.

Should he be on an Iep?

  • A diagnosis of ASD basically confirms that your child has some form of SEN. His comments about suicide would also be a reason to put him on this register.

    you should write to the SENCO and ask them to confirm that they have placed him on the SEN Register. From this a provision map or IEP should be produced and you should have twenty review meetings.

    In your letter you should highlight any delay in academic levels and ask what support will be put in place. The ASD diagnosis means he has social & emotional delay so this also requires support e.g. Circle of friends, social skills group/online Bridges SSU etc.

    the school may do very little or may put things n place but it gives you a better chance at EHC Assessment if the school have had a chance to do something. Our school only ever did things when I wrote to politely ask what they were doing?! Meetings were usually pointless! Good luck
