Thanks, Brendan.  When we have gone through the statementing process, all
areas of difficulty have been given equal consideration.  However, when we
have to provide PLASC and other data for the LA, they want just one
category for a child, which is the main area of difficulty.  The computer
template doesn't seem to have provision for more than this!
