DD has had struggles learning in school and had extra help in primary, which got her up to a reasonable standard in year 6. However we've still been bothered again by the issues she seems to have e.g not taking in information, not understanding the task, and also misunderstanding conversations which can cause a lot of tension, worse when tired. Her reading is very good although comprehension not so much. Primary school & I agreed she worked much better 1 to 1.( I suspect APD for which I'm trying to get a diagnosis -slow process)
We had talked last year about HEd & altho we applied for a Secondary school & she went to the taster days, she decided during the summer that hEd was what she would prefer. So we began this week, she was keen to start and I have been impressed how hard she's worked! However at times, like after her sis has left for school she has been a bit down on and off during the day and told me she wishes she was at school and feels left out.
She is goes to five different groups during the week inc a HEd one we started, & one where she's her old school friends so has plenty of social contact. I know it's early days but I'm finding it hard knowing she's feeling excluded.
