DD is 10 and recently diagnosed. The school always maintained that she had no problems and 'was where she needed to me' ie scraping along as 'average', she's in yr 6 and has achived level 4as in reading, writing and numeracy.
But I can't help feeling that she obviously has great potential to do better, but as she's doing OK they aren't bothered. I can see where it's coming from - why should the school put funding into someone who is doing OK - but it upsets me as she can't show her true potential.
I'm pleased that she has obviously developed strategies to cope with her issues, and grateful that they are not worse, but should I fight to get her on to the SEN register (as recommended by the Ed Psych who assessed her) and what benefits would there be??
