I don't have a clue! Ds1 is finally getting somewhere with dx, he was found to have hypermobility earlier this year and now the paed is saying he has dyspraxia.
He has been assessed by TASS and they have provided a huge long list of things the school need to do to support him, and the paed has added a few more to that. The headteacher (school senco) came to the last appointment with me and raised the issue of statementing, but the paed thought it should wait until the point where the school wasn't going to be able to support him fully without statementing.
However, I was browsing through, and people are saying that statementing can take a year. This worries me, because I don't want to get to the stage where ds1 isn't being supported fully, then start applying and him having to wait a year to get that support. So how does it work?
Also, does statementing affect financing of the support he needs at all? The TASS is saying he needs tilted desk, etc, the school want white boards and markers for him, the paed is saying he will prob need a laptop in the near future, all of which are going to be ££ and I could see the headteacher starting to worry about the cost, she had to ask where the funds do come from.
