My 4 year old started school in September and is being assessed for possible ASD, ADD and Dyspraxia. Every other week he coming home with a bumped head letter, aside from a lot of bruises on his legs. His pain level seems quite high generally for example he walked into a nettle bush in the summer and was covered in stings but it didn't bother him. With all theses bumps and bruises and in addition to the fact that he may do himself a real injury and perhaps no adult would realise this. Can I ask for him to have supervision at playtimes and if so how would I go about this, or am I better waiting until he has been fully assessed? Academically he can read fluently has been able to since he was 2 but in class expressively and socially he is immature. 2 way conversations are on his terms only. His poor communication means it is difficult for dinnertime supervisors/teachers at playtimes to find out what has happened to him if they don't witness it. As a parent if my child was in my care all day and getting so many bumps and bruises surely social services would not be happy if they knew? Whats the best way to approach this situation with the school do you think?
