We have a diagnosis, and report now from the paediatrician, for ds1. School senco refused to even communicate with me until I had this piece of paper.
Ds1 has been diagnosed with dcd/dyspraxia, mild attention and communication difficulties and mild social communication difficulties. Paediatrician suggested high functioning asd and mild adhd.
The paediatrician has referred us to occupational therapy team and as I say we are meeting with the senco tomorrow afternoon. School have already arranged for ds to have typing lessons because his handwriting is dreadful, but what else should I be asking for? The report mentions ds being passionate about science, but face to face I was advised ds1 had genius levels of intelligence in this and maths.
I feel I missed mentioning everything I should have at the referral such as how exhausted ds gets towards the end of term and by exhausted I mean physically sick. I also didn't mention his hearing is not wonderful, but that's since been than up via our GP. The paediatrician also identified mild hypermobility. School already help I'm some ways with this, but it's taken a while to have it acknowledged.
Anyway, rambling aside, what should I be asking school for? Statementing? Educational psych? I need to make notes or I'll forget what to ask for for ds1.
