Have posted a query in SEN on whether I should be seeking an Ed Psych referral but thought I'd post here too as this section is busier.
Ds in yr 2 age 6.3. Tested in Jan and discovered to have poor visual sequential memory. Affects his learning and concentration. We had issues with this throughout yr 1. He has an IEP and lessons with SENCO twice a week.
Now in yr 2 it has got worse. He is now refusing to do either school work or homework. The result means he is kept in at break time to do the work he hasn't done in class and we have nightly meltdowns over homework (which he refuses to do).
I have offered treats, threats you name it I've tried it and no effect at all. Nothing works. He is now behind in all aspects of his schoolwork. When he can be persuaded to do his work he does it easily so I don't think it is an ability problem.
I asked in Jan whether he should see an Ed Psych but the SENCO said no need. Ten months later I'm wondering whether I should ask again. Ds is at private school so I will have to pay. I don't mind doing that if there will be some benefit.
I am at the absolute end of my tether and I dread spending any time with ds at the moment.
