The reality is that EM will not benefit from further special educational provision
The reality is that EM will not benefit from further special educational provision.
That EM has been unable to make educational progress for some time. EM is resistant to educational demands being placed upon him.
Ms Askew, specifically considered the question of whether further educational provision was needed for EM. Her report was extremely thorough and concluded that EM does not require educational provision as such but that his needs will be better met through adult social care.
SLT and OT services are available for adults where needed and, in any event, training by an SLT and OT for carers is not uncommon. The FtT heard evidence that there had already been meetings between carers and such professionals in this case.
Music therapy could be commissioned.
The care agency were recruiting their own OT and SLT.
