[SENco-forum] Re: EP's

From: mmilesep at aol.com

Loved the EP joke.

Welcome Julie!  Very brave of you to declare what you do so early in the
relationship.
Hope you get to appreciate the warped sense of humour needed here.

While always very distrustful of my LEA I have found many EP's to be trying
their best even though their hands are sometimes tied.

2 shared the following:
They had been told by the LEA that 1:1 specialist Dyslexia support was not
to be written in their report even it was needed.  One bravely mentioned
that the parent's had requested it ( in their final report before
'vanishing').

One had a team working extra hours unpaid/voluntarily to clear an appalling
backlog.  The team was deemed so efficient it had an EP transferred
elsewhere!

So it is not just kids & parents suffering at the hands of LEA's who have
gotten too big for their boots.

I think you know were to find me - I am the one with the big nose & the
moustache.

I love EPs, I just couldn't eat a whole one.
