Well Dani, so sorry that you as many others have to suffer just for trying to give Billie and their children the help and education that they need. I understand there will be a lot of people in the same position and how sad that the government find it acceptable to let children miss out on so much. Fingers crossed things work out for Billie and she can carry on loving school life. Thank you for sharing love aunty V xx
What a shame you don't have a primary school with a Dedicated Specialist Provision (DSP) or informal hub near you :( My youngest's mainstream has an informal hub and a very varied population of pupils in class. Billie sounds absolutely typical for the pupils who need EHCPs, and it'd just be a matter of her EHCP also funding the extra therapies she needs.
There's also another school near me with a 'formal' DSP specifically for autistic kids without behavioural challenges, which again, sounds like your daughter. So, lots of choices without going for a full specialist setting.
Maybe have a look around and see if there is anywhere like that within commuting distance :)
In the meantime, don't worry about potentially having to home ed. If Billie is making friends and happy to be in school, there will be the right provision out there, even if it's not her current school :)
