DS is 5 and in reception. Had concerns for a while. Was touched upon in nursery but not a lot done (was reffered to the early years specialist teacher who was as much use as a chocolate tea pot)
Just had an hour and a half meeting with his class teacher and the SENCO to do a caf for him, mainly based on his health needs (brittle asthmatic) but the process allowed us to really look at his wider "issues"
Now we are at the point where a refferal is being made for an ed psych assessment for ? ASD/generalised learning and development delay.
He has been seen by the children's centre SalT but the school aren't happy with that so they are trying to get him over the the NHS salt team. They are also sorting a referal to physio for his gross motor skill delay and arranging for his hearing screening to be done early. He is already getting some 1-1 time to help with his social skills so school are going to look at increasing that too.
As happy as I am with the fact that school are being so proactive I am currently feeling very overwhelmed by everything. Going over the whole history has made me hyper aware of his "problems"
