I have been through all this with my older dd but she is a different case and has severe autism.
Dd3 has dyspraxia and suspected ADHD. Her teacher reported to me today that she is very worried that dd isn't making any progress, particularly on the point of being able to work at all independently. She told me that as soon as an adult moves away from dd, she cannot focus and forgets all about what she's supposed to be doing.
I am going to speak to the SENCO and the school says they will back me if I apply for a statutory assessment. She is already on intervention in all subjects. She has a very well written IEP and they have modified things like giving her a fiddle toy at carpet time and the correct pencil to help her writing. She also has a cushion to sit on when on a chair. However, the teacher says she needs 1:1 all the time and that she is unlikely to make any progress without it.
ADHD is something I know less about than autism and I am not sure what to focus on and what to provider when I apply for SA. If anyone has any advice I would be very appreciative.
