Yes, some - improving steadily with one-to-one therapy. Will probably slow down again now as hayfever season is on us and I have a feeling she goes dull of hearing across the entire summer.
Only 5! Try into the 30's accurately and reasonable at single digit addition and subtraction - will take a fair stab at 2 and 3 times tables up to x5.

all IEP's should be twice yearly,

Thanks - I was trying to get that info today and blood out of a stone would be simple after the conversation I had!

they need to be reviewed and agreed and signed by yourself and the teacher. (i will say teacher even though its playgroup, sorry thats just because of my work).

Got told pre-schools don't do IEP's, they do Next Steps and we need to start the whole process once she reaches school - it can't be done at pre-school - which sounds like so much bull!

If you need any inside knowledge just PM me anytime, its not only my life, but my job as well. I do IEP's and set targets all the time.
|
Thank you - I might well contact you.

My one piece of advise would be to go to the Nursery, ask about having good transition and getting Pip to go and view the school more, with a lot of ASD children, change can be an anxious time, perhaps they can give you a booklet for the summer hols with photos of school and the things that Pip would like in school and also pics of the teachers.
|
Now here I have an advantage - I know a lot of the staff at the school personally and they already know Pip, plus she is excited at going to ''big' school where Hazel went'. I have been promised transition assistance - but it would apear that that means I have to push to get it as the LEA want me to talk to the school and get them to assign someone. Pass the buck!

Make an appointment at school and ask to see the SENCO, explain to her that you are at the start of this journey and need some help, as no IEP's in place and no knowledge about statements!!
|
Done that.

In your county there should be Parent Partnership (PP), they are a free service for parents with children who have SN and can really help a lot, should be able to find them by googling your LEA and searching for PP.

I'll have a look but Croydon's website is a nightmare!

Also, have you thought about DLA and also, if you personally (not Hubby) earn less than £95 per week then you could claim Carers Allowance (you must receive DLA, middle or higher rate care), this is for your child because they need more care than another other.

What is a DLA please?
These and other confusing subjects!
Thanks!
