There's a child in reception who has a genetic disability (I've been told it's name but can't remember) that makes him appear like an overgrown toddler.
He's adorable in the way that toddlers are but the size of quite a big four year old. His language is very delayed. He has some words, but on sentences. e.g. every day without fail when asked what he did at school is response is to shout "bricks"
He has no perception of the space he occupies and will trample through and/or over other children and their work.
Other children are regularly complaining that he has either hurt them, spoiled their game or damaged their work. He doesn't mean to and he's not being at all spiteful, he just does. He literally has to be told to sit down every few seconds, which must be disrupting the teaching other children are receiving - I know this because you can hear it at pick up.
He doesn't have a statement (EHCP?) as the school's application was declined, so there's no funding for a 121. What support should he be getting? Whilst having complete sympathy with his parents and the school and being quite fond of the little boy, other parents are beginning to get frustrated that this isn't being dealt with properly by the school. His own parents are of course very worried too. Is there anything anyone can do, in light of the assessment that he doesn't need an ECHP?
His mum knows I'm posting BTW
