I wonder if anyone with experience in this area can give me some pointers.
My sister lives in Spain and her son (aged 7) has a speech delay, but apart from communication he is keeping up ok with his school work. He has a dedicated teaching assistant at school and I believe he sees a psychologist of some kind as well.
She is thinking about returning to England, but is concerned that he would not get as much help here and there would be a long delay before it was set up. What I want to know is: how long does it take to get extra help at school in the UK? I don't know the details of his condition, but can anyone give me an idea of how 'bad' you have to be to get a dedicated teaching assistant in this country?
Any information about extra help at school would be appreciated, I've no experience in this area.
