EHC Plan

We're scheduled to meet with school about our daughter's new Education Health and Care plan. Has anyone gone through theirs and is there anything we need to be aware of?

Sorry for all the questions, it's just that there are different pointers I'd pass on depending on where/when in the process she is/you are!

She is 10 years old and currently has a statement. This would therefore be her first EHC plan. She left mainstream in year 5 - started Special School in September 2016.
Thanks much.
You may also have been asked to fill in a section of the paperwork called the 'family story' or words to that effect. This is your opportunity to introduce your child, tell the story of their diagnosis or of any significant events in her life. These might be surgeries she's had, schools she's attended, or more family type stuff - when she learned to ride a bike or how much she loved being a bridesmaid for your sister last year (for example). In the one for my son I wrote a chronology of his life including his health things and educational things, as well as information about the sorts of things he enjoys doing and the things we feel are important for others to know about him, like the fact that he would happily watch Disney films every minute he has between school and bedtime but that we feel it is important that he is encouraged to make other choices and does other things - plays games,
I hope that has given you some food for thought - I'll try and write some more later!

You've certainly helped. Thank you!
