Just a Quickie....

...how often should I get an IEP from school?
Is it once a term or every half term? (I can't remember!)

I cant memba hun sorry do u have a parent partnership advisor who u can ask? i think (now im going back a few yrs since T had one) it is termly, the targets need to be only a few at a time (2 or 3) or it wil be too much for the child to realistically meet.

I can't remember either!
Am having major problems with school and am putting a "case" together to hit them with as i have had enough!

Parent partnership? What is that?

dd is termly, like Bambi said there should be a small number which are realistic. They dont actially need to be acheved by the end of that term, some of dd like toileting she has been working on for years and the progress shes made is charted each term and the target is kept on the nxt iep.

PP is an organisation that helps parents with children who have SEN, they work for parents but are employed by ur local council. Can be a hit and miss with some authorities....postcode lottery again springs into play, suprising....NOT!

I know exactly what u mean hun by saying u have had enough now! i feel like that week in and week out wid T and his sch, it hurts me to send him into that environment when i know it makes him anxious and stressed the way it does all because the understanding is not there, ignorance comes easy to too many people who should be there to help our children! ok off my soap box now, need to get a bath and go bed, been a very long day at work!

Bear in mind that anything that's State-funded t will not be acting in an independent capacity. There are other, independent, organisations that may be of more help.

Yea they are termly
