SEN and epilepsy
Wed, 02/08/2012 - 10:53Hi
I am new to this site, but wanted to see if I could get any help, research or information relating to special educational needs related to epilepsy and/or medication.
I am currently going through the statementing process with the LA for my 9 year old daughter who was diagnosed with childhood absence epilepsy when she was 5. After a fairly long process (since May last year) the LA agreed to assess for a statement on 10 January.
In readiness for the next stage of the "fight" I need to get some information together as supporting evidence. I wonder:
a) Has anyone else been in this situation?
b) Where is the best place to go to get hard evidence?
c) Is there anything else I can do?
All help and comments would be greatly appreciated.
