As i struggle in the school holidays, because he does'nt like to go to new places or i need another person with me i sent him to the holiday club which is attached to his school (mainstream) last holidays. This was only for a couple of mornings as they are expensive and i funded it out of his DLA money, he enjoys going and the staff meet his needs and it is also familiar surrounding for him as it is in his school.

I wanted direct payments so i could fund more days in the holidays as i have a 3yr old son who i need to take out as it is not fair on him to be stuck in the house all the time.

My social worker contacted me saying her manager was querying it as it was not a special needs holiday club and that they might not fund it now.

I am quite angry about this as my son has a routine there and is settled and for me to take him out of that environment and take him to another holiday club where he does'nt know anyone and which is across the other side of town (his current one is across the road from our house) just seems like a ridiculous idea.

They are meant to be helping parents not causing them more stress !!

Just wondered if anyone had any advice]]>

We are trying to get him assessed for autism as he shows many signs he is on iep, his academic levels show he is at level age 6 years for reading.
We had a review today for his iep and we had been in touch with CAHMS to get him refered for autism and after waiting 6 months to see them they said they cant refer him to be assessed for autism and that the ed. pyschologist has to do it or the school.
However the ed pych said today its not her job and the school hasnt referred him either .

We are so desperate i havent slept all week my head is thumping i wish i could just jump off a bridge with my son and this way everyone would be happy.
What should i do and where shall i go?
There is a place called kirklees autism outreach in dewsbury but i cant just go there with him it has to be referal.
Could anyone please advise i dont know how long i can carry on like this please]]>

at the moment we have been told we would be getting the full 42 nights and would need to discuss if we wanted weekends or weekdays, i said i cant see how you can fit in 2 yrs of respite into weekends only and thats when she started erm erm erming lol
took 8 weeks from first meeting with council officer to this point where it had taken 8 months and the threat of a second complaint before i saw him, only reason i saw him was complaints officer suggested i saw him before i put in the complaint.
so fingers crossed its good news as we should be getting respite soon and he has a holiday with college next month and 2 nights away with outreach in easter hols which he is looking forward to (activity hols) and will not have to deal with this until he reaches 18 in june next year lol
