Hello long time lurker here looking for some perspective here. Ive had a few little niggles about DS who is coming up towards the end of Y6 now - doesnt display any of the usual signs of dyslexia i dont think - however have explored recently with his form teacher as to whether he needs assessing in some way.
Socially hes ok - not necessarily one of the in-crowd. Theres a border line personality clash/bullying with a couple of other boys which is on and off (yes i am aware i hear only 1 side etc etc) - however i digress ....
His teacher seems to think this is a possibly a good idea - im still musing it through as am not keen to label him particularly but at the same time dont want to miss anything crucial.
I asked teacher what i should say if i ring ed psyc ... this is her response: "When you contact the educational psychologist tell them that XXXXXX is an ‘enigma’. His interests and vocabulary suggest high ability and his CATs scores show very high Verbal Reasoning scores. His written work is, however, weak and he struggles to punctuate and structure his written work appropriately. He also works quite laboriously. We are now wanting to investigate whether there is an underlying reason for this discrepancy".
Am interested in other peoples experiences - is the above enough of a marker to warrant firther investigation?
TIA (will prob name change after this post)
