Can anyone help or advice me please?
My 6yr old dd is really behind with her reading, writing, spelling and maths.
She's in yr2 and has had an IEP since yr1 for focusing and concentration.
She's recently started with a private tutor, who is a specialist in dyslexia.
The SENCO at school said they don't assess them till they're 8/9yrs and if you get a private assessment I was told they won't act upon it.
I've found out, she could get a private assessment through dh's work healthcare program. If she was positively diagnosed, would it be worth pushing for a statement? Or would she be unlikely to get this?
At the moment she doesn't appear to be getting any extra help, apart from a bit of group reading with the rest of the IEP group now and again. She's had no one to one reading at school at all this term so far.
All of her class are starting to read chapter books and she can barely read a sentence! She can't read and write without help and she's starting to notice how far behind she is.
I'm so worried she'll never catch up and other areas of her education will start to suffer.
What can I do to get her more support in school?
