EHCP pain

briancharles5612

Hi all,

I’ve started going through the EHCP process for my boy who has autism. And does anyone else feel like you’re constantly put off applying? Any mild improvement is seen as a giant leap which seems to be with the aim of lowering the bar of help and when you have the evidence it’s always not quite there.

we had to go private for some parts, we have little money so was a big sacrifice, for roles mirrored in the NHS. But because it’s not the local authority Dr I’ve been told they may ignore the input.

maybe I am wrong but it appears to me that some of these officials are in place to go at the pace the local authority wants and not at the pace that’s best for that child.

anyine else had problems?

Hello @briancharles5612

I'm sorry to read what you're going through, it doesn't sound easy and all you want is the support your child deserves. 

I have little knowledge in this area, but I hope others will come along who have, in the meantime I have moved your discussion to a more fitting category for the subject  

Take care

Thank you very much. It’s a soul destroying process even before you apply sadly.

Anyone who’s been through the process and could give advise would be appreciated
