In this week's episode of The Autism Mums Podcast we’re talking about the journey to getting an EHCP - what it is, why it matters, and what the process looked like for our families.
We’ll share the lessons we learned along the way with the hope that it helps you navigate the process and feel a little more prepared.
Key Takeaways
An EHCP can provide vital, legally binding support
You don't need a formal diagnosis to apply for an EHCP
Schools may not always initiate an EHCP request. If they don't parents can.
Timelines and deadlines are crucial - keep a track of key dates.
Support groups, SENDIASS and organisations like IPSEA can provide guidance and practical help.
The right provision can make a huge difference to your child's wellbeing.
