DS is 11 and in Year 6. He has adhd and dyslexia but is on track for 4's and maybe a 5 in his SATS.
I am started to worry about the change to senior school, where he will be much more left to it. He will struggle more than most kids about being in the right time, with the right stuff, keeping out of trouble etc. His difficulties with written language will hinder him in most subjects I reckon.
So, I was wondering, should we try to get an Education Psychologist report done on him so that the senior school have a really clear idea of his strengths and weaknesses. His primary have been great with him, but said he would never get a psychologist report while he was with them as he would be so low down on their priority list.
Should we ask the secondary if they can put him on their list in advance, as it were? Or what about private? How much would it cost? Would the senior school accept it? Any recommendations? East Sussex but happy to travel for a recommendation. Thank you.
