Hi I am asking this question as the school my son goes to is good at what they have done for him and things in place are helping. He will be losing his high dependency funding in march this year and I am wondering, if I should go for a EHCP for him as I have gotten two very confusing paediatricians results as he hasn't or he has got ADHD (concentration one apparently) and possible ASD pathway (which we are awaiting at this time). Do I go ahead when the senco manager as I am concerned to say that they overjoyed in the air when I told her the results from the doctor that said he has when twelve months ago was told he didn't . As you can see why I am very confused with where to go and isn't happy that every doctor we have seen have been different every single meeting we have had Please could you help and advise me really where to go? down the road to statment or not really....

Hi @JulieMcKay72
Welcome to the forum.
You can ask questions about EHCP to our education adviser, too!
Best wishes, Alex -

Welcome to the community, I have moved your question over to the EHCP advisor category where I hope @IndependentSupportServices may be able to help.

Hi @JulieMcKay72
I would say apply. Personally the children do not need a concrete diagnosis but they DO require additional resources then EHCP is the way forward. They will look at the current provision and see what is and isn't working. It takes about 6 months so if he loses his funding then it would stand to reason that he would need extra help when the school can no longer fund it.
If you need any help applying let me know

Thank you xx I’ll see what his school says. I know high dependency funding runs out soon so, will need to get this moving sooner rather than later

Hi @JulieMcKay72
An EHCP needs assessment looks only at the needs of the child, not the diagnosis so please don't let that stop you from applying. If you would like more information about the EHCP process, what to expect and support if you do decide to apply, you can find your local Independent Support service using the link below. They will be able to answer any questions you have.
