Should my child be on an Iep?

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?

  • Sorry to hear that - but don't give up! You will get there! When were you turned down for the EHC? Are you within dates to appeal? Or do you have to wait for 6 months to apply again? As a bare minimum write to the school and point out his SEN/diagnosis and ask for him to be put back on the sen register. Good luck!
