  • Should I prioritise requesting a SALT or OT assessment over the EP report in my EHCP appeal, considering the potential for necessary therapy and interventions to support my child’s needs?

    I am currently in the process of appealing my child’s EHCP, as the LA has omitted both an OT and a SALT assessment. The EP report submitted is from October 2023, but I am not sure whether I should prioritise further assessments.

    In my appeal, I have requested that the LA carry out both an OT and SALT assessment, but I am concerned about their follow-through, given my lack of trust in the process. I’d appreciate your advice on which assessment would be more urgent to prioritise — the EP report, which is broader in scope, or a SALT assessment, which could potentially lead to therapy for my child.

    Thank you.

  • Is it risky to agree to Late EP Assessment when SALT recommends 25 Hours of 1:1 support?

    The Local Authority is seeking to carry out a late EP assessment after the hearing bundle has been finalised. I already have an independent SALT report recommending 25 hours of one-to-one support and specialist SALT therapy.

    I am concerned that agreeing to a late EP assessment could risk undermining the strong recommendations in the SALT report. However, the therapist does note that it is not her role to determine final one-to-one provision.

    I would appreciate advice on whether it is advisable to agree to the assessment at this stage.
