Hi, we have been banging our heads against a wall for years now tryin to get our son the OT support he requires in school, even getting them to deliver on their promices is an issue! He moves to high school next year and obviously needs a great deal of OT input regarding cooking classes, science, crafts etc to allow him to fully take part but we are chasing our tails with the local OT provision. Does anyone else experience this as well or is this just our local health board? p.s, we are in Scotland

Hi
Not sure if you have SEN statements in Scotland but we have about 40hrs of OT written in detail into the statement so they have to provide it otherwise we can go to court.
