Getting an EHCP

- I talk about getting an EHCP for William who has autism and does not cope in a mainstream school.
It was a very long process for us and quite stressful too. I thought it might help other parents if I tell everyone how getting an EHCP panned out for us. It took around a year in all to get the EHCP finalized and it was a very bumpy road to it.
If you have any questions please add them to the comments. I'm only a parent but I'd be happy to try and help where I can.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My son is in the same situation now, being home tutored, but has been out of school for 8 months since we moved out of Essex. EHC plan just came through last week and it's basically a copy and paste of his first EHC 6 years ago. We are in the process of appealing the council's decision to send him to a mainstream school. He was in a special needs school before we moved. Seems we are always having to fight for our kids.
What a stressful journey you have been on, it serves to highlight how so many children are being failed by the systems set up to deal with their needs. If the tables were turned and it was you who was not providing your child with an education, you would have been in court by now. Such a shame that a child who already struggles in the education system is being failed and set back even further. I wish both you and William every success on this journey. Keep on fighting, with your determination to get him the education he needs I'm sure you will get there in the end.
This is the fear for my son. Our LA refused to do an assessment for EHCP for my son with mild autism, dyspraxia and many other little health conditions. The school SENCo have been amazing all the way through. We’ve just had the decision to assess overturned. He we are on Feb he leaves primary this year and I’m so scared he won’t get a decent school for September. Fingers crossed for all those who are going through this scary process ❤️ and hope your son found a lovely school
Just come across this Ty so much .my child year 7 struggled then pandemic ..now in this process after he unable to return year 8 ..watch this space .Ty soo much hope you are all well

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too! :D
My son is 18 now.. been trying to get help for him since he was 6. ended up home schooling til he was 13, put him back into school as advised by child services thinking he would intergrate . 8 months of hell and nearly suicide later i had to pull him again. Then tried college one year then the next then the next. Each time to this day he has tried and tried and the schools and council have failed him every time. He has chronic fatigue painful joints and asbergers. This year im trying legal action if the college and agencies continue with the neglect. Believe me I didnt think I had any fight left in me but I have. Even tho I now have developed the same illness and cannot do basic duties on a daily basis anymore.
My nephew no school waiting 2 years no school e h c p some age 6 14 now !! He’s had nothing.
The same think happen for my son. We still waiting.. Waiting and waiting and christmas is near and we still waiting. Is so sad.. I can't sleep in the night because my son he is so unhappy.. He need school,he need to play with children's 😞
I hope you exhausted Kent's complaints process complained to the LGO about the LAs failure to adhere to statutory timelines
This is so helpful thank you so much - I've only got halfway through this video but it's so massively helpful thank you so much x
P.S. I didnt realise I'm signed into youtube not as my own name - sarah c.
Im just starting this journey EHCP trying to get one in place before primary next year... you vid was helpful as I too felt that the nursery were overselling his abilities, and that i will need to over emphasise his weaknesses but now i think i need to do more research. I believe he needs 121 in lessons and lunch times not at playtimes. I guess councils are thinking from a cost standpoint and so if a child is close to able then no ehcp which is my worry. Anyway thanks for th3 video
Just finalized my daughters plan after 1 year of a battle...keep going and be that pleasant but pushy parent that will not settle for anything less you feel your child deserves.. I am now up against a tribunal appeal to get the right school ..best wishes x
I’d love to know your update for this story. Iv just done my own EHCP plan for my son.
How do I get rid of my sons EHCP as it as stopped him from having a school for well over a year
Ps..UK Midlands here .btw we.d already had peadrition look into austism they sat on the fence that was when he was 7 . He.s now 13 this month .I've had to threaten to remove him completely if they don't help him .coz he.s so anxiety ridden..and scared ..n only wants to be with familie .of course the threats to remove him has really shaken things up .
i don't mean to sound rude but we have been trying with school for around 3 year they had started the forms then said they would do it then nothing and now they saying they don't believe its best that was last time we spoke about it (?September ) ANY ADVICE AS HE GOES TO SECONDARY SCHOOL NOT THIS YEAR NEXT AND THE SCHOOL WE WANTED HIM TO ATTEND
NEEDS THIS TO ACCESS THE SERVICES WE PICKED THE SCHOOL FOR
