I was waiting to see if I should try for EOTAS / ehcp and waiting for both the welfare bill and the white paper to do their thing- I’m scared that an ehcp mignt make ehe harder given the welfare bill. I’m try to follow it all but it’s so anxiety inducing and as you say, my kid doesn’t fit in. We have “fallen through the cracks” to use their language. I think I will stay here in the cracks even though it is a lot not to have any support. But I prefer the cracks to their “vision” as you so well describe it of every child all learning at the same time the same thing sitting down. I’m not sure I’ve got it in me to fight for EOTAS , but maybe I should whilst parents can still apply for ehcps themselves. Then I thjnk, I don’t want anything they have to offer.
On the plus side my 9 year slept through the nignt two nignts in a row so maybe just maybe I will be less exhausted in future!
I’m trying not to let all this send politics get me down and concentrate on spring coming !
We are in the process of trying to get eotas, I’ve used a brilliant advocate to support me, couldn’t do it without her. However I’m concerned that even if we get it what will happen in the future as there is no mention of eotas in the white paper. I’m sure many will challenge this so I think enjoy the spring sunshine and let’s see what happens and let’s continue doing the amazing mothering we are doing!! I have very much learnt to take each day as it comes and try not to be consumed by the future, that’s one thing this whole journey has taught me. Xx
Yes I feel they are trying to dismantle EOTAS as an option, but perhaps they simply cant as there will always be a need for it. I thjnk they don’t want people to know about it and they thjnk that if they speak of it, people mignt get ideas.
One day at a time ! I hope you manage to get a good EOTAS and keep it
Yep my thoughts entirely.

Really pleased your child slept through the last few nights, sleep deprivation is the worst!!
