School are lovely but ultimately can't help. Our GP tells us it's all down to School. Statements have become a nightmare to apply for and we've been told DS2 has to be at least 3yrs behind his peers academically in order to explore a statement, let alone one being granted. He's currently 4 - soon to be 5. It's seems crazy that SEN children have to actually fail first in order to be helped...
I'm frustrated, DH is frustrated, and I imagine the School is too. They admit he's SEN - it's fairly obvious, but they've nowhere to go with it.
Our SW, who has been an absolute rock has finally got a LEA social worker for us - we meet her next week and I'm nervous yet excited, yet also trying not to hope for too much. With the recent shake-up with social care departments, we're about to get a regional office as opposed to a local one, so there's no guarantee the SW we meet next week will actually stay with us. Everything is so up in the air for everyone involved.
DS2 continues on his quest to deny us sleep and is constantly up at night, whether he's caught his finger, says he has a nightmare, is trying to catch the cat or actually does have a nightmare, it's constant. He also wakes DS1 up early but appears to be leaving that for the weekends so far, AFAIK.
It's a long cry from the hope I had last March, but that seems to be the way it goes when you hve a kid with SEN needs.
