Phew what a day.  Tutor in - tics off the scale for Ben. 2 1/2 hours of full on tics shouting so loud I dont know where it comes from !!  He wasnt able to do anything with the tutor at all, Joe on the other hand managed to work through a lot of his tics and managed some work.  Once this was done, had about an hour before heading off to SEN pow wow.  2 hours of full on meeting, got a bit emotional, stress is really taking its toll now.  Found out a few things that made us feel really angry towards the potential new school, I hope some bridges can be built in the next few weeks as we all need to be able to talk to each other.  Its maddening that there is a process in place for vulnerable SEN children with the statement and getting priority choice of school, but we are still sitting here in the middle of April with a question mark over whether the boys will go to our choice of school or not.  We should be able to feel as confident and secure as other parents do right now.   The boys should be safe in the knowledge that the decision made was the right one and that the school will do their best for them. However they know that something is going on and that we are still looking at schools to make sure we get the right environment.  This all adds to their anxiety, I would love to know how many other SEN parents have gone through the same kind of thing around transition from primary to secondary.
