Good luck Tinkerbell - if it is an LEA nursery then you can go for statementing.
Have a look on your LEA website and it should detail the statmenting process for your LEA

Good luck from me too Tinkerbell.
It's just a shame that we have to always battle for everything.

My LEA told me i couldnt start the statementing process till he was 4...I was then told by the nas that i am allowed to start it at 2 1/2 which was when i first started to talk to the lea about it.He is now statemented on a c band,which any other year would have got him into a really good special needs school with an autism class.His year group is so big that for the first time ever,they are only accepting A and B band statements which means he has to go to the mainstream school my other two attend where the senco hates me cos i got an officail complaint put on her record 4 yrs ago....long story,will post it some other time,but he starts full time september.They've also said if he falls asleep in class,i will have to pick him up(it takes me 45mins on public transport to get there!)

The rules are ridiculous.
I am so lucky with the school Thomas is at - very pragmatic, very helpful and although we have issues they are nothing like some of you have to deal with.

Well said, I couldn't agree more.
If we don't fight for our kids nobody else will.

Obviously things have changed much since my daughter attended school but I can sympathise with all you Mum's having problems, by coincidence my youngest daughter a teacher just happened to mention the other day that her school which has a unit for A.D.H and Autism has endless problems trying to get pupils who are obviously in need of it statemented.
Carry on fighting all of you, it doesn't make you popular with the authorities but it is the only way. Trouble is it continues later after school for many,
Annie
