Just got ed psych report in today for DD1.
Meeting with headmistress, ed psych, SALT and OT on 16 June to discuss DD1's needs for her to start P1 in August.
She will be 5 in on 19 June and so far has d/x of dyspraxia although am cetain other d/x will be forthcoming with regards to her learning.
I'll just highlight a few points that are in the Assessment and Conclusions and Recommendations section of her report.
-DD1 has awkward pencil grip and no established hand. Will swap hands frequently, even in the middle of a task
-some difficulty following verbal instructions
-not able to follow sequence of instructions and verbal comprehension below average for her age.
-marked difficulties on spatial tasks
-visual motor difficulties in copying tasks and in particular pattern construction
-difficulty with 1:1 correspondence in number
-drawing extremely rudimentary and undifferentiated
The conclusions:
-degree of developmental delay particularly in visual/spacial skills, fine and gross motor skills and balance and coordination
-profile consistent with dyspraxia and a developmental coordination disorder
-in many areas functioning around 3-3.5 year level
on the upside, no social problems.
Am totally in the dark about what kind of support we should be seeking for her in school.
I already feel like I've cocked up so much on her already, I just want to get this part right.
Her hearing and vision have been tested recently and are normal.
She has no chromosomal abnormalities.
ANY help appreciated!

So, what kind of support should this child in a mainstream school get?
